Preview:

Queensland made an impressive start to the Marsh One-Day Cup 2019 with three successive wins including a bonus-point win to top the table. Their winning streak was halted by Victoria thanks to a record knock from Aaron Finch. Usman Khawaja’s inclusion has strengthened the Queensland team. The left-hander struck hundreds in both matches before the Sheffield Shield break.

They will now face South Australia in the last game of the season at the Allan Border Field in this tournament. The South Australian team has struggled for consistency with the bat. However, their bowling has helped in staying in the top three in the points table. They won two of the four matches they played thus far and one of them with a bonus point.

Expert Advice:

With average credits of top players being 9.5 credits, a bit of gamble has to be taken of leaving out a few players. Travis Head isn’t in greatest of forms recently and hence we have taken a risk of excluding him as he costs 10 credits.

Queensland is expected to make it 2-0 against South Australia in this tournament.
