Preview

South Australia will take on Tasmania in the very first match of the Sheffield Shield 2023/24 at Karen Rolton Oval in Adelaide on Tuesday (October 3). Both teams had an average performance in the last season as they won only two out of 10 matches and drew four matches as well. So, they will look to bounce back this season. South Australia played their last game in the Sheffield Shield 2022 against New South Wales, which ended in a draw. Tasmania also drew their last game in the Sheffield Shield 2022 against Queensland.

Pitch Report

This match will be played on a drop-in pitch, so it is expected to be balanced. Still, bowlers can gain some advantage at the start and later batters can dominate as well. The toss winner will look to bat here mostly.
