Melbourne, Australia – Victoria, currently sitting in 3rd place on the points table, will face off against last-placed Western Australia in the 13th match of the Australia One Day Cup at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Victoria are looking to bounce back after a disappointing 9-wicket loss to South Australia in their last match. Peter Handscomb (126 runs) and Sam Elliott (10 wickets) have been key performers for Victoria, while their previous match saw Jonathan Merlo contribute a crucial 78 runs.
Western Australia, on the other hand, are in dire straits after a humiliating 7-wicket defeat against Tasmania. Their batting performance was particularly poor, being bowled out for just 53 runs with Aaron Hardie managing only 7 runs. Beau Webster’s impressive 6-wicket haul for Tasmania proved instrumental in their victory.
Despite their current form, Western Australia will be hoping to turn the tide and secure their second win of the tournament. Their top performers include Sam Whiteman (148 runs) and Jhye Richardson (8 wickets).
The match promises an interesting encounter, with Victoria looking to maintain their momentum while Western Australia desperately needs a win to stay in contention.
