Queensland Seal One-Day Cup Win Against WA Backed by Century from Hugh Weibgen


The Heroics: Young rising star Hugh Weibgen anchored Queensland's innings with a brilliant 103 off 85 balls (featuring 12 fours and 2 sixes), recording his second consecutive century in the competition. Key Partnerships: Weibgen combined with Hugo Burdon (who added a rapid 67 off 49 balls) for a crucial century stand that rescued Queensland from early trouble after losing quick wickets upfront. Queensland's Total: Pushed by Weibgen’s anchor knock and vital contributions down the order, the Bulls posted a competitive total of 261 all out in 45.2 overs. WA Run Chase & Collapse: Western Australia put up a strong fight in response, led by gritty knocks from Joel Curtis (63) and captain Ashton Turner (58), alongside Mitchell Marsh (36). However, disciplined bowling from Queensland—highlighted by multiple wickets from Tom Straker and Hayden Kerr—triggered a lower-order slide. The Result: WA was eventually bowled out for 246 in 44 overs, handing Queensland a thrilling 15-run victory to kick-start their One-Day Cup campaign. The rate remained feasible but with No.11 Jordan Quiggan joining him Turner knew he would have to get most of the remaining 42 runs himself. The next 11 balls went for 26, including extras, during which the captain went to 50 off 51 balls and hit Mitch Swepson for six. But his opposing skipper had the last laugh, dismissing Turner just as he seemed on course to secure an improbable win.
