NSW vs VAC Match Prediction - Oct 26, 2021

It took some time for the Shield season to start, but it is certainly marching ahead with full steam now. From the six teams of the tournament, four have already featured in a couple of matches each, but two sides are yet to start their shield campaign.

New South Wales and Victoria will kick-off their Shield season with a match against each other after waiting on the sidelines for a long time. The match between the two sides will be played at the Drummoyne Oval, Sydney on 27th October 2021.

NSW vs VAC Team Previews

New South Wales

New South Wales have not yet featured in this Shield season and it would be difficult to comment on their form. However, they were terrific last year, only to be beaten by Queensland in the finale. Considering how they have played over the years, it would be safe to say that New South Wales have been one of the most consistent sides of the tournament.

There are quite a few changes if we compare their last year's combination to that of the upcoming season. Kurtis Patterson will now be leading the side full-time after a part time stint last year. However, his own form is something that the team and he himself will be a bit concerned about.

Another factor to consider is that New South Wales generally feeds a lot of players to the national squad. With ICC World T20 also underway, we do not expect New South Wales to come out with their full-strength squad. Despite that, however, New South Wales have an immaculately balanced side and if they are able to perform to their potential, beating them is going to be very difficult.

New South Wales Playing 11

Daniel Hughes, M Gilkes, Kurtis Patterson, Jack Edwards, Jason Sangha, Sean Abbott, Peter Nevill, Trent Copeland, Nathan Michael Lyon, Tanveer Sangha, Harry Conway.


Victoria

Victoria once used to be one of the most successful sides in Australian Cricket, but their form has changed drastically, of late. They managed to win just one match last year, but considering it was just the beginning of their rebuilding phase, they were not too concerned. Having said that, the fans would be expecting a lot better performance from them this year.

Just like last year, Victoria are getting off to a delayed start to the season and this might well play to their advantage, given the fact they have seen how the conditions are at play. Last year, Will Pucovski was their star performer last year, racking up runs in bulk. Apart from him, a lot will depend on the likes of Marcus Harris, Peter Handscomb, and Scott Boland.

On paper, Victoria have a decent side and will be looking to convert that on-paper strength onto the field. We expect them to fare a lot better than they did last year, thanks to the players they have and the experience they gained last year. If they are able to play to their potential, beating them is going to be very difficult.

Victoria Playing 11

Marcus Harris, Nic Maddinson, Peter Handscomb, Matthew Short, Jonathan Merlo, James Seymour, Sam Harper, Will Sutherland, Mitchell Perry, Jon Holland, Scott Boland.
