Bankstown Oval, Sydney

Victoria will be up against New South Wales in the 14th match of the 2020-21 season of the Sheffield Shield. The new COVID-19 outbreak in Victoria has caused the game to be shifted from the Melbourne Cricket Ground to the Bankstown Oval.

It is the second game for both teams since the resumption of Australia's premier first-class tournament.

It was only last week that these two sides squared off and played out a tight game. The bowlers reigned supreme as New South Wales were bowled out for 165 and 175 in the two innings while Victoria, who had notched up 200 in the first innings, chased down 143 with four wickets in hand.

Overall, New South Wales have won two out of the four games so far in this 2020-21 season of the Sheffield Shield. In fact, that loss against Victoria last week was their first loss in red-ball cricket this season.

On the other hand, that was Victoria’s first red-ball win this season.

Pitch Report

The pitch at the Bankstown Oval in Sydney is most probably going to be a sporting one. It should be a decent surface to bat on but the fast bowlers are likely to get some assistance as well. Moreover, spin will come into play too as the game progresses. Thus, the 22-yard surface for this game should keep everyone interested as it is likely to have something in it for everybody.
