Preview:
Western Australia will host South Australia in the fourth match of the Marsh One Day Cup 2021. Western Australia won their first away fixture against South Australia by 78 runs. However, at their home turf, they lost to Tasmania in their next game. Skipper Aston Turner’s century went in vain, as they lost the match by 4 wickets.
South Australia, on the other hand, started their summer with a loss against Western Australia. They recovered well and won their next game against Queensland by 67 runs (D/L Method), thanks to an epic knock from skipper Travis Head, who scored a mammoth 230 runs from just 127 balls. Both sides are in the same position at the moment, and we can expect a great contest between them.
