Meredith bags five as Bulls rolled in Cup

Riley Meredith has produced some high-class fast bowling as Tasmania's quicks took advantage of favourable conditions to skittle Queensland for 164 in their Marsh Cup one-day cricket contest.

Meredith (5-26 off 10 overs) took two wickets in his first spell and three in the second after the Tigers' captain Jordan Silk put Queensland in at Brisbane's Allan Border Field on Friday.

Tasmania's pace quartet extracted movement from the wicket and were backed up by some high quality catching and ground fielding, and left-arm spinner Tom Andrews (1-28 off 10).

Meredith, who represented Australia in ODI and T20I formats last year, returned career-best limited overs figures and bowled five maidens across his two spells.

Mark Steketee, batting at No.9, top-scored for the home side with 35 not out off 36 balls, notching his highest domestic one-day competition total.

The Bulls couldn't muster a partnership any higher than 18 until their ninth-wicket pair of Steketee and Xavier Bartlett (23 off 44) added 48 to rescue them from 8-95.

So effective was the Tasmania attack it took 22 overs before a Queensland batter reached 20, and seven of the top eight were dismissed for under 14.

Max Bryant (26 off 40) was the only specialist batter to make a start, but he was trapped lbw by Meredith trying to hit the paceman down the ground.

Test stars Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne were dismissed for 13 and 10 respectively.

Tigers paceman Tom Rogers followed up his five-wicket haul in Wednesday's win over South Australia with 3-32 off 8.1 overs, with Queensland dismissed off 44.1 overs.
