NSW vs WAU Dream11: The big finale of the Marsh Cup 2021 will be played between two best sides of the competition New South Wales and Western Australia. New South Wales have been the only unbeaten side of the competition so far with 4 wins. However with the IPL underway, they will miss several first-choice players like Warner, Smith and skipper Cummins. That means the onus comes upon Hughes, Patterson and young Oliver Davies to propel them to a respectable total. The bowling looks experienced with Starc and Hazlewood to lead the new ball attack and Lyon to accompany them.
Western Australia meanwhile, have a powerful looking batting order with D’Arcy Short and Philippe at the top. The middle order looks settled with skipper Mitch Marsh, Cameron Green and Ashton Turner. Behrendorff looked excellent in his return in the last match and he will be expected to lead the bowling attack along with Ashton Agar.

Who will win today match? The match between these two teams was washed out in the league stage and that makes this an interesting battle. It will be interesting to see how NSW’s young players perform under pressure. Jason Behrendorff demolished the Blues batting around 6 years ago claiming 5-27 in the 2014 final. He was difficult to play with the new ball in the last game and that makes him a player to watch out in NSW vs WAU Dream 11 Today Match Prediction. NSW will start as favourites for this match.
