South Australia are clear favourites here, and we expect them to win comfortably if they play to their level.
South Australia come in with the better form, having won three of their last five games, while Western Australia have won one of their last five. Their results this season back this up: South Australia are 1st in the table, Western Australia 3rd.
The toss could matter here. Chasing has been the better option at this ground, so the captain who calls right may well choose to bowl first. We expect a first-innings score of around 250, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.

SAUS vs WA Pitch Report
Karen Rolton Oval, Adelaide
Conditions at Karen Rolton Oval have been fairly balanced, with neither bat nor ball on top.
The first-innings average over the last 40 List A games at this ground is 250, and 224 in the second innings. Batting first, a side will want something around 235-265 on the board. There is little to choose between batting first and chasing, 17 wins to 22 across the last 39 decided games.
The last 4 first-innings scores here, newest first: 397/7 (SAUS, won), 383/7 (SAUS, won), 128 (QLD, lost), 196 (SAUS-W, lost). Scoring has gone up lately: the last 4 first innings averaged 276, above the ground average of 250. First-innings totals here have ranged from 128 to 397 in that time.
Toss call: there is not much in it, but most captains will still choose to chase.
