Previous year’s runner-up, South Australia had lost their opening encounter against New South Wales despite a late burst by their key batsman, Kieron Pollard. As compared to that, Victoria’s run of good form in the KFC Big Bash (they have won it four times already) continued when they defeated Queensland in the opening encounter of this season’s tournament.

While Victoria (7/10 at Stan James) will be obvious favourite given their record in the competition and due to the presence of a star-studded line-up, they will do well to remember that South Australia (13/10 at bet365) had a great previous tournament. They can underestimate the opposition at their own peril.

It was Aaron Finch’s (7/2 at Boylesports) half century and David Hussey’s (4/1 at bet365) late, 23-ball 42 that had assisted Victoria in their previous win. Rather surprisingly, Rob Quiney (8/1 at bet365) was pushed down the order and did not get a chance to bat in the innings, while their foreign export, Dwayne Bravo (9/1 at bet365) came in at the number six position. There is a good chance the Victorians could look at shuffling things around given the situation in the game.

For South Australia, the best bet is for their top-order to bat through the first 12-13 overs without losing too many wickets – unlike their opening encounter – and then have Pollard (5/1 at Boylesports) explode towards the end of the innings.

Callum Ferguson (5/1 at bet365) had had a decent Champions League T20 on his return but all eyes will be on the South Australian captain Michael Klinger (7/2 at Boylesports), who did not have a great opening game.
