Match prediction: South Australia vs Western Australia 20th match

South Australia will lock horns with Western Australia in the 20th match of the Sheffield Shield 2019-20 season at the Adelaide Oval on Friday.

We witnessed some fascinating cricket being played in the first half of the Sheffield Shield 2019-20 edition and now it is time to make way for the second half of the season, which kickstarts from Friday. Western Australia are 8 points ahead of South Australia on the points table and are placed second in the ladder. South Australia have work to do and have a tough task ahead of them as they will face an upbeat Western Australia side, considering the fact that the latter has won the last three head to head encounters against the former. In the meantime, I have handpicked few of the best markets to bet on from this cracker of a game. Take a moment and go through these markets and stats and you will not regret after. Shall we begin?

Marsh to rise above the rest of Western Australia batters

Here’s a cricketer who has played quite a lot of domestic cricket in Australia and for his antics with the bat, he has been called up for the national side in the past. Shaun Marsh continues to score runs at free will in domestic competitions and quite not so surprisingly, the southpaw has scored 600 runs in six matches so far in the ongoing season of the Sheffield Shield. The left-handed batsman has maintained an incredible average of 66.66 including two centuries and two half tons so far. In the previous season of the Sheffield Shield, Marsh racked up 443 runs in just three matches at an astounding average of 88.33 including one century and three fifties in just six innings. His last few head to head to head scores against South Australia are as follows - 21, 163, 17 and 52. The kind of form he is in, it is unlikely that he is going to stop scoring unless the South Australia bowlers restrict him from doing so. Dafabet is being generous and has offered odds of 3.90 for Shaun Marsh to be the top team batsman for Western Australia and I would suggest you to grab that opportunity with both hands.

Tom Cooper to outshine the other batsmen in South Australia

This South Australian cricketer has played more than 100 First-Class matches in his career and is one the veterans in the Australian domestic circuit. Tom Cooper has been fantastic with the bat in the ongoing season of the Sheffield Shield and he is expected to emulate his form in the second half of the season as well. Cooper has, thus far in the Shield, notched up 568 runs at an outstanding average of 71.00 including one century and two half centuries. He has also registered the highest score of the season so far (271*) during the first half. He is the second highest run getter in the league and is the highest run scorer for South Australia as well. In the previous season of the Sheffield Shield, he could only score 376 runs in nine matches at an average of 26.85 and look how has he bettered his numbers in the current season. Dafabet is offering crazy odds of 5.50 for Cooper to be the top team batsman for South Australia against Western Australia in the forthcoming game and if you are to believe these numbers which I mentioned, I don’t see you losing this bet.

Lefthanded firepower from the south

Yet another South Australia batsman Jake Weatherald has had a fantastic domestic season, be it First-Class cricket or Big Bash League. The flamboyant left-handed Darwin-born batsman came into the limelight with twin centuries against Western Australia in the 2017-18 season of the Sheffield Shield at the WACA in Perth. In the current season of the Sheffield Shield, Weatherald has notched up 459 runs at an average of 41.72 including two centuries and one fifty. He missed out on his first ever First-Class double hundred in the first half of the season by just two runs. His First-Class career average is 33.97 and that is a lot more than the number that has been suggested in this particular market. Weatherald has scored north of 26.5 runs on four occasions in the last four head to head meetings against Western Australia. So you know what to do now, don’t you? Dafabet is offering odds of 1.87 for Jake Weatherald to score more than 26.5 runs against Western Australia and the outcome is almost inevitable considering the form the southpaw is in.
