Overview

• Queensland captain Marnus Labuschagne struck 105 off 91 balls in the One-Day Cup at Allan Border Field, reaching his hundred in 89 deliveries before a 7-70 collapse saw the Bulls bowled out for 311.
• Tasmania chased down the target with 10 balls to spare through Tim Ward (105), Jordan Silk (85 not out) and Caleb Jewell (79), moving to 3-0 and the top of the table.
• The century was Labuschagne’s third in four innings this season, following 130 in the One-Day Cup opener and 160 in last week’s Sheffield Shield match against Tasmania.
• His latest knock came two days after he was omitted from Australia’s ODI squad to face India, with Queensland teammate Matthew Renshaw called up and still awaiting a debut.
• Coach Andrew McDonald said Labuschagne is close to peak form and remains in contention for an Ashes top-order role, with Australia yet to name its squad for the first Test in Perth on 21 November.
