Domestic one-day cup leaders NSW underlined their early-season dominance with an emphatic 75-run win over last year’s champions Western Australia, in a repeat match-up of the 2014 final.
NSW compiled an imposing 5-264 and WA were never really in the hunt, eventually being bowled out for 189 after 44.4 overs.
The result secured the Blues a third hefty win on the trot.
Australian Test fast bowler Mitchell Starc (4-23) again led the way for NSW, ripping through the WA top-order before fellow paceman Gurinder Sandhu (4-29) ended any hopes of a fightback with an inspired second spell.
Starc is comfortably the competition’s top wicket-taker with 14 scalps after three matches, at an unlikely average of five.
Earlier, Ed Cowan hit 100 and along with Nic Maddinson (74) laid the foundation for a big
NSW total with an opening partnership of 133.
