Queensland v Victoria: Ryobi One-Day Cup – Match Recap
Queensland beat Victoria by 31 runs in the opening game of Ryobi One-Day Cup, a domestic tournament of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Steve-Magoffin-c2578
contributed with 3 wickets to the Queensland’s victory.
In the day/night match, Victoria won the toss but elected to field first. Having been invited to bat, Queensland started their innings with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JR-Hopes-c1744, the skipper.
The start was poor as Hopes fell for a duck on the very second over of the innings. However, the second wicket partnership between Broad and the one-down batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-William-Robinson-c44640, was good as the duo added some 37 runs to the scorecard.
Broad, after scoring 30 off 47 balls with the help of 2 boundaries, fell in the 12th over. The next batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chris-Lynn-c1246, went without scoring a single run. Thus, the team has lost its three top batsmen for just 46 runs in 14 overs.
However, the middle-order batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Peter-Forrest-c2176, and Robinson played fabulous innings for the fourth-wicket stand and collectively scored 81 runs. Robinson fell on the first delivery of the 29th over after lashing 66 off 73 balls including 7
epic boundaries.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ben-Dunk-c1133 who played very well and scored 39 runs with the assistance of 2 fours and sixes.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stewart-Jonathan-Walters-c91389 stayed on the crease till the second last over of the innings and kept firing with boundaries and quick doubles to amass 81 runs from 96 deliveries.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ben-Cutting-c1132 and Bradley Ipson were batting on 23 and 2 not out respectively before the 50-over quota came to an end.
Thus, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Queensland-c834 totalled 269 runs for the loss of 7 wickets. Their run rate was 5.38 per over.
In the bowling line-up of Victoria, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Glenn-Maxwell-c60189 bagged two scalps each.
To chase down the target of 270, the Victorians started their innings with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chris-Rogers-c1249 and Maxwell as openers. Like Queensland, their start was also pathetic as the top two batsmen fell on total of just 19 runs. Maxwell scored 10 with the help of a six
and four each while the one-down batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Brad-Hodge-c1184, got one boundary.
The skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-McDonald-c1042, built up a fair partnership with Rogers as the two added 37 runs to the innings before the former fell for 26 off 24 balls in the 12th over. The next batsman was Robert Quiney who seemed to be in great form from the
very beginning.
After Rogers’ fall in the 20th over for 31 runs, Quiney and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Peter-Handscomb-c81662 set a long batting stand of 68 runs. Quiney lashed 57 off 67 balls with the help of 2 fours and a six, while Handscomb made 42, with the help of 5 boundaries.
With the collapse of these two batsmen, wickets started falling with regular intervals as none of the preceding batsmen could show resistance to the furious bowlers of Queensland, except http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ryan-Carters-c2386, who made 25 off 44 balls.
Siddle could score just 5, while Pattinson made 16 runs. The tail enders, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jon-Holland-c1724, scored 6 and 0 respectively.
Thus, the entire Victorian batting order was washed out for 238 runs in 48.5 overs. Their run rate had been 4.87.
Among the Queensland bowlers, Magoffin took 3 wickets while Hopes and Cutting bowled out 2 players each.
