QUN vs WAU Preview

Queensland start off as favourites to win this contest. Jimmy Pierson, the wicket keeper batter is leading this team and has done wonders for the side in the last few years. Queensland have the likes of Usman Khawaja, Joe Burns and Ben McDermott with the bat. When it comes to the bowling, they have Michael Neser, Mark Steketee and Mitchell Swepson.

As far as Western Australia are concerned, they would’ve been strongest among the two as their prime players aren’t part of the squad as they are taking part in the World Cup in the coming days. Having said that, with Cameron Bancroft, Josh Phillipe and Hilton Cartwright, they are a tough side with the bat. Jason Behrendorff and Jhye Richardson are enough to make enough damage with the ball as well.
