Billy Stanlake to Moises Henriques. Short, pulling, Hit Hard in the air under control to deep square leg for 1 run. A brilliant century to Hughes and 85 not out from Smith have lifted NSW to a comprehensive 8 wicket victory over Queensland and a home final on April 11. Chasing 204, NSW lost Warner early but Hughes kept the scoreboard ticking early with some glorious drives down the ground. Smith started in his usual careful style but a couple of sixes off Kuhnemann got him going and the hosts quickly put Queensland out of the game. Queensland now face a nervous wait next week when WA and Tasmania clash for a chance to leapfrog them into second position.
