Preview:

Australian domestic cricket for the year 2021/22 is all set to kick start from September 22^nd. South Australia will take on last year’s runners-up Western Australia in the first match of the Marsh One Day Cup. The former had a terrible last year, where they finished at the bottom of the table without winning a single game. Things have changed over the last few months and they are excited to start this year’s campaign with a win.

Western Australia, on the other hand, would have been disappointed to lose in the finals last year against New South Wales by 102 runs. They finished second in the standings with 17 points. They will be hopeful of going one step further this year. Their team looks more balanced, and under the leadership of Mitchell Marsh, they are one of the favorites to win this tournament.
