South Australia 398 for 6 dec & 233 for 9 dec (McInerney 75, Sangha 61, Kuhnemann 4-67) beat Tasmania 203 & 426 (Ward 142, Hope 69, Weatherald 65, Silk 65, Agar 3-91, McAndrew 3-123) by two runs
South Australia have pulled off one of the most remarkable wins in the Sheffield Shield’s 132-year history, beating Tasmania by two runs on the final ball of the match in Hobart.
Tasmania required four runs from the final ball to successfully chase down 429 for a dramatic victory.
The win put South Australia top of the table, while Tasmania are now last.
But when Owen was caught on the long-on boundary a few balls later and Matt Kuhnemann was out first ball, South Australia were back in the game. With seven required from the final over, Gabe Bell was bowled by Agar for a duck before the final-ball madness ensued.
The earlier stages of the day had also been full of drama, with Ward’s century his first since his maiden Shield ton in October 2021.
But the left-hander was caught up in one of the more bizarre moments of the game in the middle session. With Tasmania flying in the chase, South Australia resorted to short-ball tactics to try and slow the momentum.
On this occasion the appeal was denied, with umpires having seemingly decided over had been called.
