NSW have triumphed over Western Australia in their Sheffield Shield clash at the Sydney Cricket Ground, claiming a 10-wicket win in captain Moises Henriques’ 100th First-Class appearance for the Blues.
NSW celebrate Shield win over WA in Moises’ milestone match
The Blues had things go their way early, with Henriques winning the toss and opting to bowl. Liam Hatcher led the way with four scalps, and every other NSW bowler contributed with at least a wicket or two, as the Blues dismissed WA on day one.
Henriques marked his 100th First-Class appearance with a composed half-century, before emerging batting dynamo Ollie Davies notched his maiden first-class century, propelling the Blues to a first-innings lead of 135 runs.
Chris Tremain produced an unplayable spell late on the second day, to see five of WA’s top six depart for a cumulative total of three runs.
Hatcher, Jackson Bird and Nathan Lyon dismissed the WA bottom order early into day three as the Blues secured their first Sheffield Shield win of the season, by a margin of ten wickets.
