QSL vs NSW 21th Match Prediction

QSL vs NSW Team Previews

Queensland

Without Test stars like Khawaja, Labuschagne, Renshaw, Swepson, and Kuhnemann, Queensland has struggled to remain competitive in the Marsh Cup. Poor batting from Burns, Peirson, and Clayton hasn’t helped matters, with Burns especially useless without scoring over 20 runs in his last four matches.

Bryant and Heazlett have been a small ray of hope, as Heazlett made a great century in the loss to Victoria, but otherwise there’s just not enough firepower on this team.

For bowling, Sandhu (eight total wickets) and Neser (11 total wickets) have been superb, but it’s more than likely that QL will rest these two players and look toward the Sheffield Shield later on. Steketee and Bazley are very experienced and great at times, but their hearts probably won’t be in this meaningless match.

New South Wales

NSW has been largely competitive thanks to the excellent batting from Daniel Hughes, who has picked up a staggering four centuries in this season’s Marsh Cup. Hughes’ 126 runs from 130 deliveries in the recent win over Tasmania is proof that his performances can result in must-have victories. Hughes has a total of 526 runs and a huge 87.66 batting average.

If only Hughes had the batting help he deserves, as you really have to search hard for someone who can score as well as he can. Patterson has been decent with 197 total runs, but you’d like to see much better batting from the likes of Henriques, Davies, and Gilkes.

Bowling hasn’t been the best part of this NSW team, as you have to go far down the list of total wickets taken to find anyone on the squad, with the best being Chris Green with six wickets. Zampa and Abbott are both first-rate bowlers and took numerous wickets in the win over Tasmania, so we’re not too worried, but it’s barely enough to trouble a team like WA.
