Sam Konstas scored 149 off 131 balls to lead NSW to a 78-run One-Day Cup victory over Western Australia.

Sam Konstas scored 149 off 131 balls, hitting 15 fours and four sixes, to lead NSW to an 78-run One-Day Cup victory over Western Australia on Saturday at the WACA Ground. NSW posted 8-371, with contributions from Josh Philippe (51), Jack Edwards (45) and Lachlan Shaw (44). Batting at first drop, Konstas combined with Phillipe for an 81-run partnership for the second wicket.

Western Australia replied with 293 all out in 46.3 overs. Sam Whiteman scored 116 from 113 balls, whilst Ashton Agar (43) and Ashton Turner (41) were the only other WA batters to pass 40. The loss leaves WA with a 0-3 record. NSW moved to 3-1.

This is Konstas' second century in four days, following scores of 71 and an unbeaten 151 in NSW's Sheffield Shield draw with WA on Wednesday. The 21-year-old made his Test debut against India in December 2024, scoring 60 in his first innings, but has struggled since, failing to pass 25 in his next nine Test appearances. His recent domestic form comes amid broader scrutiny of Australian batters' form after the Test team's recent poor performances.
