Preview:

Defending champions Queensland will be up against Tasmania in the second match of the Sheffield Shield 2021/22. Queensland defeated New South Wales by an innings and 33 runs in the final to emerge as champions of 2020/21 season. Marnus Labuschagne had a stunning season last year with the bat and he will be confident of repeating similar performances this year as well. It will be interesting to see whether Usman Khawaja and his boys will be able to regain the Shield again.

Tasmania, on the other hand, had a decent outing last year, where they finished fourth in the standings with 28.11 points. Tim Paine, Jackson Bird, Riley Meredith and Jake Doran are the key players who will miss this match due to injury concerns, whereas Nathan Ellis, who is part of Punjab Kings in the IPL, is obviously unavailable.
