The jewel in Jewell’s pendant grants Tasmania bonus points.

Queensland vs Tasmania
Caleb Jewell's half-century led Tasmania's chase

By five wickets, Tasmania 153 for 5 (Jewell 61) defeated Queensland 150 (Carlisle 3-39).

Tasmania maintained tenuous prospects of qualifying for the One-Day Cup final by virtue of a bonus-point triumph over Queensland at the Gabba in the final round.

They bowled Queensland out for 150 and, with five wickets in hand, chased down the total in just 27 overs.

Caleb Jewell (61 off 68 deliveries) batted with an uncommon degree of freedom for the Tasmanian opener in otherwise difficult conditions. The few anxious moments for the visitors were a result of Jewell’s strike, as they were 63 for 3 when he accelerated his side to within striking distance.

During his assured cameo, Mac Wright struck two sixes, and Beau Webster amassed 20 off 17 deliveries without being dismissed.

Initially, Tasmania’s bowlers favoured Iain Carlisle, but it was Webster’s double-strike that commenced the demise of set pair Matthew Renshaw and Max Bryant.

This week, following a century for the Shield against Tasmania, Jack Clayton organized another rescue mission. However, his dismissal by Tom Rogers instigated a collapse in the lower order, with Queensland’s final five wickets succumbing for a mere 10 runs.

The outcome placed Queensland in the second-last position heading into the final round. Tasmania, on the other hand, can advance from fourth to the grand final with a bonus-point victory over third-place Western Australia next week, assuming all other outcomes go their way.
