Prestwidge maiden fifty guides Tasmania past NSW in rain-hit clash

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 13 Oct, 09:02 · Archive

Tasmania defeated NSW by 57 runs in a rain-interrupted One-Day Cup match, with quick Will Prestwidge scoring a maiden fifty as opener.

Will Prestwidge, ordinarily a quick bowler, was handed an unfamiliar opening role and responded with a maiden half-century. The 24-year-old struck 71 off 56 balls, featuring six fours and five sixes, helping Tasmania reach 203 all out despite two rain delays totalling almost three hours.

Tasmania's revised target under the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method was 216 to win off 30 overs. NSW's chase faltered immediately. Ollie Davies, fresh from a double-century in the Sheffield Shield, managed only 13 before falling in the second over. Kurtis Patterson departed two balls later for 5.

The middle order of Riley Kingsell (24), Ryan Hicks (29) and Will Salzmann (27) made starts but could not build innings. Jake Scott top-scored with 32 not out but NSW were dismissed for 158 off 26 overs. Caleb Jewell ran out Liam Hatcher for 1 to end the match. Raf MacMillan took 3-29 with his off-spin. Tasmania's victory was their first of the season; NSW suffered their first loss.
