WAU vs TAS Dream11 Match Prediction, Sheffield Shield, Western Australia vs Tasmania, 30 October

WAU vs TAS Dream11: The 5th match of the Sheffield Shield 2020 will be played between Western Australia and Tasmania. Both the teams are coming off draws in their last matches. But Western Australia is on top of the points table given their win in the first match while Tasmania is at No.3 in the points table.

Western Australia has had some impressive performances so far, especially with the bat. Sam Whiteman and Cameron Green have led the way with the bat. Green has earned his maiden Australia call-up as he impressed with a marathon innings of 197 in the last match. He is touted as the next batting superstar in the country and is leading the run scoring charts so far. Ashton Agar has proved his allround credentials by scoring a century in the first game. He has a 5-wicket haul to his name and is leading the wickets chart this season. Wicketkeeper Josh Inglis has shown that he is a very capable batsman in the lower middle order while Liam Guthrie and Cameron Gannon provide the much needed variety to the bowling department. They will be looking to win this game and solidify their position in the points table.

Tasmania on the other hand, struggled in the first game but came back well. Ben McDermott has been highly impressive with two half centuries in two games while Jake Doran and Tim Paine’s centuries in the last game helped Tasmania post a mammoth first innings total. Their performances will be crucial to this game as they come against a quality Western Australia bowling attack. The Tasmania fast bowling looks in good shape with the experience of Jackson Bird and Peter Siddle leading the way but the spinners lack experience. It will require a spirited effort from their side to defeat this strong Western Australia side.
