Overview
- Konstas hit 116 for New South Wales against Queensland at the SCG, his first Sheffield Shield hundred since October 2024 and his fourth first-class ton.
- He shared a 112-run opening stand with Matthew Gilkes, then added roughly 130 for the second wicket with Kurtis Patterson before falling to Tom Whitney.
- New South Wales closed day one on 313/4, with Gilkes scoring 55 and Patterson 63, as Queensland fielded an attack missing Michael Neser and Xavier Bartlett.
- The century ended a 13-innings stretch without a first-class hundred, following a difficult run after his promising Test debut last summer.
- Konstas was omitted after low scores on the West Indies tour and was not picked for the first two Ashes Tests, with Jake Weatherald and Travis Head currently forming the opening pair.
