Preview:

South Australia are hosting New South Wales in the second match of their 2021 campaign. Both the teams have played one game each and performed well with the bat. South Australia suffered a defeat in the very first game against a strong Western Australia side. Travis Head and Harry Nielson made a massive effort with the bat but could not make their team across the line. Their bowling line up failed to pick up regular wickets which led to such a mammoth total in the end. However, they are now back to their home ground and will be expecting to get the most out of it.

On the other side, New South Wales won the opening match against Victoria by a convincing 59 run margin. Steve Smith scored a century, which was followed by an impressive performance by their bowling attack. For this game, they would miss the service of Steven Smith but David Warner is back instead. The Blues will bank on him to make it two in a row in the very first two games of the season.
