Western Australia face Tasmania at the Western Australian Cricket Association Ground in Perth today, Friday.

Western Australia batting first had 2 wickets for 52 runs in the 16th over. They lost the remaining 8 wickets in the next 28 deliveries (in 20.1 overs). Only 1 run could be taken out of it. That too from wide again. That is, the team lost 8 wickets without getting any runs from the bat. 6 consecutive batters called down.

In reply, Tasmania won by batting 8.3 overs. The team also got a bonus point for winning by 7 wickets.

On the other hand, Western Australia started the tournament aiming to win the title for the fourth time in a row. But the team has faced a tough challenge with a shameful loss. They are currently at the bottom of the table.

Western Australia will need to win all three remaining matches to advance to the final. In these matches they will face Victoria, South Australia and Queensland.
