South Australia will face Tasmania in the Marsh Cup at Junction Oval in Melbourne on Friday. The two teams are coming into the fixture on the back of contrasting results.
South Australia have flattered to deceive in the Marsh Cup so far, suffering two consecutive losses. The Travis Head-led side, who are sixth in the table, need to win every game from here on to stand a chance of making it to the final.
Tasmania, on the other hand, started their Marsh Cup campaign with a loss against Queensland. However, they bounced back quickly and recorded a commanding win over Victoria in their next game. Tim Paine and his men will be looking to win two on the bounce when they take on South Australia on Friday.

Pitch Report
The track at Junction Oval is usually a good one to bat on. The ball comes on to the bat nicely, enabling the batsmen to play shots on the up. However, there might be some movement early on with the new ball and spinners could also come into the game as the match progresses. A good all-round surface is likely to be in store for Friday's Marsh Cup fixture.
