WA 6 def QLD 4
WA: 6R 11H 3E
QLD: 4R 6H 2E
Western Australia have one hand on a top-two finish after seeing off Queensland 6-4. Scoring all their runs by the top of the fourth, WA had a 6-0 lead heading into the fifth with the win looking certain, but a resourgent QLD came back at the host team with a four-run fifth inning, only to be held from scoring again. QLD did well to keep a lid on the WA scoring, ensuring they did not capitalise on their hitting form.
WA are just a win away from securing top-two, and are still a shout to finish on-top should NSW fail to continue their unbeaten run.

Day 3 Schedule:
Game 11: ACT v NSW 9:00AM AWST
NSW 4 def ACT 3
NSW: 4R 5H 2E
ACT: 3R 4H 3E
A close one for NSW who were held to their smallest win of the tournament so far by the ACT. It was all the ACT who got out to a one-run lead in the first inning thanks to some smart running by Ryan Liddle to make the most of a couple of NSW mistakes. They added two more in the sixth to lead 3-0 into the final inning, but a four-run comeback to pinch the win denied the ACT their first win.
