TAS vs NSW Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing-11 Updates for Today's Sheffield Shield Match - Mar 20, 2021

Tasmania will lock horns with New South Wales in the 19th match of the Sheffield Shield at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart on Saturday.

Tasmania have struggled in the Sheffield Shield this season. They are placed in the penultimate position in the points table after failing to win any of their six games (three draws and as many defeats).

In their last Sheffield Shield game, Tasmania drew against Victoria. Against New South Wales they will miss the services of Ben McDermott and Nathan Ellis because of injury.

New South Wales, meanwhile, have won three, lost one and drawn two of their six Sheffield Shield games this campaign. They are comfortably sitting in second position in the Sheffield Shield points table.

In their last Sheffield Shield outing, New South Wales beat South Australia by six wickets. However, David Warner, Moises Henriques and Josh Hazlewood have been rested for the game against Tasmania.

The last time these two sides met in the Sheffield Shield, New South Wales registered a 145-run victory over Tasmania; they start as the favourites to win this game too.
