A rematch of last year's final, Western Australia hadn't lost a game until the last round in their bid for back to back trebles. Victoria have been the form side of the comp since the BBL break, winning their last 5 games to come from second last into making the final.
Western Australia probably make two or three changes to the side that lost to Victoria with Joel Paris, Matthew Kelly and Lance Morris all likely to return to their side, but the batting was the issue for the men from the west so it will be interesting to see how their top order respond.
Victoria will welcome back captain Peter Handscomb and off spinner Todd Murphy returning from the Indian tour. A question remains about whether or not they play Will Pucovski given the lack of form from both Travis Dean and Ashley Chandrasinghe.
Possible sides:
WA:
Cameron Bancroft
Sam Whiteman (c)
Teague Wyllie
Hilton Cartwright
Aaron Hardie
Ashton Turner
Josh Philippe (+)
Joel Paris
Matthew Kelly
Corey Rocchiccioli
Lance Morris
Vic:
Will Pucovski
Marcus Harris
Peter Handscomb (c)
Campbell Kellaway
Matthew Short
Will Sutherland
Sam Harper (+)
Mitch Perry
Fergus O'Neill
Scott Boland
Todd Murphy
Biased, but I have the Vic's winning this one. Peter Handscomb MOTM
