Western Australia have been set a victory target of 199 off 35 overs in their rain-affected one-day clash with South Australia at the WACA Ground.

The Redbacks compiled a total of 6-193 off 35 during an innings that was disrupted three times by rain on Monday.

Under the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern system, the victory target was adjusted to 199.

Opener Jake Weatherald top-scored for the visitors with 60 off 81 balls, while Daniel Worrall (31no off 25 balls) and Nathan McAndrew (21no off 15 balls) combined for an unbeaten 55-run partnership to boost South Australia's score.

Dangerman Travis Head, who had posted scores of 163 and 230 in his two previous one-day knocks this season, was out for 28 when he edged Lance Morris behind.

The Redbacks were struggling at 3-48 in the ninth over, but the second rain delay allowed them to regroup and stop the wobbles.

WA speedster Matt Kelly (2-37) dismissed Weatherald and Ryan Gibson in consecutive balls later in the innings.

Kelly's hat-trick ball was a cracker, with Worrall almost edging it behind.

Warriors allrounder Cameron Green, who is vying for an Ashes berth, returned figures of 1-38 off seven overs.

WA beat South Australia by 78 runs when the teams met in the season opener on September 22, but the Redbacks rebounded by posting a 67-run win over Queensland earlier this month.

Both WA and SA entered Monday's match with a 1-1 record.
