Scorecard
Western Australia's middle order pulled things back after they got off to a slow and shaky start against Queensland on the first day at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane. Shaun Marsh and wicketkeeper Sam Whiteman were both unbeaten on 61 and 66 respectively, taking the score to 4 for 225 at stumps.
WA's top three batsmen started off very slowly, scoring at just over a run per over till the 30th over, as Queensland did not allow their first four partnerships to flourish for too long.
James Hopes broke the opening stand early in the day when he trapped Marcus Harris leg before for 2 in the seventh over. Legspinner Cameron Boyce then had Cameron Bancroft leg before, reducing the visitors to 2 for 40 in the 30th over.
Michael Klinger, the tournament's second-highest run-scorer, batted for 110 deliveries to make 28 before being caught by Michael Philipson off Mark Stekeete's bowling. WA's captain Adam Voges got the scoreboard ticking with Marsh before Peter George had him caught behind for a 90-ball 42 which featured seven fours.
Whiteman and Marsh stabilised the innings and stitched an 120-run unbeaten stand for the fifth wicket. Hopes, Stekeete, Boyce and George picked up one wicket each.
