Konstas scores 149 in One-Day Cup win, pushes case for Test recall
Sam Konstas has hit an unbeaten 149 in NSW's 78-run win over WA in the One-Day Cup, pushing his case for a Test recall. The 21-year-old opener has now scored back-to-back centuries in the space of a week, following his 71 and 151 not out in the Sheffield Shield.
New South Wales' Sam Konstas continued his impressive run-making campaign to push for a Test recall, scoring an unbeaten 149 in a 78-run One-Day Cup win over Western Australia at the WACA Ground.
Konstas smashed his century off 131 balls, helping NSW post 8-371 in their 50 overs, with handy contributions from Josh Philippe (51), Jack Edwards (45), and Lachlan Shaw (44).
In response, Western Australia's Sam Whiteman scored 116 from 113 balls, but it wasn't enough to chase down the target, as the home side was bowled out for 293 in 46.3 overs.
