In batting, they have Sam Hain, James Bracey and Laurie Evans, who have showcased the glimpse of their good form with the bat and they will look to replicate the same in the upcoming game. On the other hand, they have bowlers like Dan Lawrence and Brydon Carse, who have impressed everyone with their bowling.

They have good players in their line up like Justin Avendano, James Campbell, and Arjun Nair, who can turn the game single-handedly on the back of their impressive performances. It will be interesting to see how will they put a full stop on the winning streak of Lions.

Weather Report

The weather forecast for the matchday is not expected to be perfect. The chances of rain are quite high that might even abandon the game. The wind is expected to blow at a rate of 13 to 16 km/hr. Meanwhile, the temperature is expected to deviate between 22 and 27 Degree Celsius throughout the day according to Accuweather.

Pitch Report

The surface at the Drummoyne Oval is expected to go in the favour of the batsmen. In two out of the three games of Marsh Cup on this ground were high scoring. But, due to the overcast conditions on the match day, the fast bowlers will certainly get some help from the wicket on the matchday. The side winning the toss will most probably look to field to be on the safer side.

Average first innings score: 292 (last two completed matches during Marsh Cup 2019)

Record of the chasing teams: Won – 1; Lost – 1
