Queensland top picks vs Tasmania The Marsh Cup 2022-23

Usman Khawaja: The Queensland captain got himself a good start in the last game with a 45-ball 26-run knock but was unable to carry on. The left-handed batter is the best batter on the Queensland side and will have the onus of getting his team a good start. Khawaja has scored 5252 in 124 List A cricket at an average of 46.07 and has a top score of 166.

Matt Renshaw: The 26-year-old scored a fluent 47-ball 43 in the last game. The left-handed batter has scored 1761 runs in List A cricket at an average of 38.28. Renshaw has scored three centuries and has a top score of 156 not out. Unlike other batters, Renshaw looked far more comfortable against the pacers and will once again hold the key for Queensland’s fragile middle order. 

Tasmania top picks vs Queensland The Marsh Cup 2022-23

Caleb Jewell: The 25-year-old scored a match-winning 126 not out in the first game against South Australia. Jewell has scored 689 in 23 List A matches at an average of 32.80 and a strike rate of 87.99. The southpaw’s explosive batting approach helps Tasmania score big in the powerplays.

Tom Rogers: The right-arm pacer picked five wickets in the first game and helped his side bowl South Australia out for a low score. In a relatively young List A career, Rogers has picked 20 wickets in 14 games at an economy of 5.32. The left-handed batter has also scored 116 runs with the bat and has a top score of 38. The 28-year-old adds depth to the Tasmanian side and will be a top pick against Queensland.
