It is an inconsequential game as South Australia Redbacks have already made it through to the knock-outs while Victoria will not appear in the second round of competition for the first time since the tournament started five years ago.

However, the Redbacks will want to qualify for the final directly instead of going through the preliminary final path. A combination of a reasonably heavy loss in this game followed by New South Wales’ convincing win over Queensland could see them toppled from the top perch. This gives them an added incentive of trying to get past the defending champions in this game and going through directly to not only the final but also cementing their place in the Champions League T20.

Victoria have had a torrid time in the tournament and much of it can be attributed to the absence of Cameron White and David Hussey, both of whom are with the national side involved in the ODI series against England. Brad Hodge’s lack of runs has hurt the side as well and they will fight for pride in this game.

The two sides had earlier played in a group game at Adelaide and South Australia had run home easy winners.

Stan James puts South Australia as favourites to win this game with odds of 4/5 as compared to 1/1 for a Victorian victory.
