Until then, I am Dev Rajawat, signing off along with my co-commentators, Ninaad Dixit, Soumarya Dutta, and scorer Dushyant Madhukar Kumar. That’s it from our side. Thanks for joining. But cricket doesn’t sleep. Plenty is happening around the world. Switch tabs, follow the fun. Goodbye from this tab! TAKE CARE! BREATHE AND SMILE! CIAO!!!
And that is where we leave Brisbane - Victoria have completed a stunning comeback, Queensland have been denied despite a spectacular finish with the bat, and Liam Blackford walks away with one of the innings that will define this game. What a contest. What a chase!
Queensland will wonder how 335 was not enough after they had Victoria 14/4 and then reduced them to 84/5. Their top-order bowlers did everything right early, with Straker’s four-for providing the perfect start, while Swepson briefly threatened to shift the match back their way. But Sutherland’s hundred changed the mood, and Blackford’s unbeaten 149 turned what looked like a lost chase into a successful one. Queensland’s late batting surge, led by McLachlan’s outrageous 66 off 29, had seemed decisive, but Victoria answered with an even more remarkable recovery built around partnerships and composure.
Player of the Match: Liam Blackford
5:35 PM IST, 10:05 PM Local Time: What a chase this has been in Brisbane. Victoria have pulled off a remarkable three-wicket win, overturning an almost impossible situation at 14/4 to chase Queensland’s 335/7 in 49.5 overs. Will Sutherland’s hundred and Liam Blackford’s extraordinary 149 not out off 113 balls transformed the contest, before Victoria held their nerve in a frantic finish to reach 339/7, with one ball to spare. It was a game that seemed to belong to Queensland after their late assault, but Victoria produced the response of the match.
Let's rewind a bit...
Queensland’s first innings began in measured fashion and then settled into a long rebuilding exercise. Hugh Weibgen fell for just 1 off 7 at 1.4, caught behind off Austin Anlezark, but Jack Clayton and Marnus Labuschagne gradually rebuilt the innings. Clayton made 36 off 57, while Labuschagne contributed 42 off 67, although neither could convert their starts into a substantial score. Doug Warren was particularly effective during this phase, eventually removing Clayton at 19.3, while Matthew Short later produced the key breakthrough by dismissing Labuschagne for 42.

Doug Warren was particularly effective during this phase, eventually removing Clayton at 19.3, while Matthew Short later produced the key breakthrough by dismissing Labuschagne for 42.
The middle overs belonged to Hugo Burdon and Lachlan Hearne. With Queensland needing momentum, the pair put together an outstanding 95-run stand from 77 balls, taking on the seamers and finding gaps against the spinners. Burdon was the aggressor, racing to 73 off 70 with seven fours and two sixes, while Hearne struck five fours and a six in his 46 off 40. Their partnership moved Queensland towards a competitive total, but Hearne’s innings ended in unfortunate fashion at 38.6 when he was run out by Will Sutherland and Matthew Short. Burdon followed at 41.2, bowled out by Warren, leaving Queensland to launch their final assault.
And launch they did. Queensland smashed 137 runs from the final 10 overs, turning a modest-looking innings into a daunting 335. Max Bryant provided the initial surge with 44 off 23, including two fours and four sixes, before Dylan McLachlan delivered a sensational finish: 66 not out from just 29 balls, with three fours and seven sixes at a strike rate of 227.58. Bryant and McLachlan added 89 from only 39 balls, while Hayden Kerr also struck 13 off five before Sam Elliott removed both Kerr and Bryant late on. Queensland finished on 335/7 at 50 overs, leaving Victoria with 336 to win.
Now... the chase!
Victoria’s reply could hardly have started worse. Matthew Short found the boundary from the first ball, but Tom Straker had the last word in the opening over, removing him for 8 off 6. Straker then struck again in the third over to bowl Harry Dixon for two before dragging Tom Rogers on for 1 to complete a devastating opening burst. Oliver Patterson added another wicket when Dylan Brasher fell for a duck at 3.5, leaving Victoria at a catastrophic 14/4. Suddenly, the chase looked like it might collapse before it had properly begun.

Will Sutherland, however, refused to let it happen. He joined Blake Macdonald and the pair began the long rescue operation, putting together a 70-run fifth-wicket partnership. Sutherland counter-attacked with authority, while Macdonald offered valuable support, but Mitchell Swepson eventually found the breakthrough at 16.2, bowling Macdonald for 17 off 34 with a googly. Sutherland was still there, though, and the captain then found a perfect partner in Liam Blackford. Their extraordinary sixth-wicket stand produced 152 runs from 143 balls, dragging Victoria from 84/5 into the heart of the chase.
