Preview :
South Australia will take on Tasmania in their third match of Marsh One-Day Cup 2019 in Adelaide tomorrow.

On the other hand, Tasmania after gifting the match to Victoria from a winning position, suffered a big loss against Western Australia and now needs to do a lot of hard work to turn things around.
