New South Wales Blues will face Tasmania Tigers in the Marsh One Day Cup match 9. So far this season, New South Wales has gone undefeated. They won two of the three games they played, and their third match was called off due to rain. They are currently in first place on the points table and will be hoping to keep their winning streak going in this upcoming match.
On the other hand, Tasmania has won two of their three matches and sits just behind their opponents in the points table. They beat South Australia by 9 wickets in their most recent game. On Thursday, it will be fascinating to see who has the upper hand between these two table-toppers.
Weather
It will be a bright and sunny day in Hobart. The temperature will be about 17 degrees Celsius, and there will be no rain in the forecast for this match.
Pitch
The Bellerive Oval in Hobart’s 22-yard surface is likely to be a good one to bat on. With the new ball, there might be something in it for fast bowlers and some turn for spinners. However, the ball will most likely come on to the bat nicely, allowing batters to play up-and-down shots. Batting first, a score of 280-300 could be appropriate.
