Recent report report – Tasmania against New South Wales, Sheffield Shield 2024, 30th game

Tasmania 309 for 7 (silk 94*, station 64) against New South Wales

Jordan Seide met an unbeaten 94 to give Tasmania the honor in her Rosa Ball Sheffield Shield Clash with NSW at Bellerive Oval.

Silk (94 not from 186), Tim Ward (64 Rev 158), Caleb Jewell (45) and Jake Doran (39) all brought for 7 before Rain raised the opening day to an early destination on Tasmania.

The third -placed NSW entered the game and knew that they had to win to achieve the hope of the final organized by South Australia.

The strong first-in-heart number of Tasmania means that NSW has a lot of work ahead of them to achieve a positive result.

Tasmania slipped to 44 for 2 after Jake Weatherald (nine) had been caught and Nivethan Radhakrishnan (10) had been caught by Ben Dwarshuis LBW.

But a 65-run stand between Ward and Jewell, followed by an 82-run stand between Ward and silk brought Tasmania to a strong position.

Silk has the opportunity to publish its 12th first -class century when the game is resumed on Sunday.

Tasmania sits on the table in the last place and is no hope of reaching the final.

But for NSW everything is at stake that has to beat Tasmania and then has to rely on the fact that the second -placed Queensland did not achieve a victory against head manager of South Australia.

On the first day, South Australia went with a dominant 359 against queensland, which NSW gave even more incentive to turn Tasmania around the skewer when the game resumed.

The match is also another opportunity for the NSW Opener Sam Konstas to bring its name in front of the Australia's test championship final against South Africa at Lords in June.

Konstas gave a breathtaking test debut against India in the Boxing Day test, but its top-system-courting form lately has been a big topic of conversation.

The 19-year-old recovered with an important half a century in the shield sign last week with WA in Waca, and his performance against Tasmania is very examined when the Australia's selectors think about who should be at the top of the order.
