The warm up for the final with 1 playing 2. An outright win to either side will just about secure the home advantage for the big one.
NSW have announced their side with a few surprises:
The squad of 12 is (one to be omitted on the morning of the match) :
Nic MADDINSON
Nicholas BILLS
Trent COPELAND
Scott COYTE
Patrick CUMMINS
Moises HENRIQUES ©
Phillip HUGHES
Phil JAQUES
Peter NEVILL
Stephen OKEEFE
Ben ROHRER
David WARNER

Interesting that Casson was dropped completely for this. I would have thought he'd at least go and would be 12th man if the pitch was green.
Also where is the Kat? Obviously not quite 100% yet.
Bills stays in the squad from the Ryobi Cup game despite not getting a go and he and Cummins must both be a shot of playing here seeing as Coyte has hardly set the world on fire. On of these three will carry the drinks.
Moises gets the big (c). Don't get what they're seeing but he becomes our 4th Shield Captain of the season. He's bowled pretty well in spurts this year but seriously he should be batting 8 with Nevil at 6 and SOK 7.
Top 5 with Hughes, Warner, Jacques, Maddinson and Rohrer will score plenty if we get going.
Butterworth is the dangerman for us. A genuine match winner for Tassie, not the least the last game against NSW where he took 5 wickets and top scored in both innings to give Tasmania a 1 wicket win. He leads the wickets table with 37 @ 16 and backed it up with 291 runs @ 32. We keep him quiet we'll win. Cosgrove has also hit some good form this year, but Tassie will need to roll us cheaply twice to win it I think
