McInerney's century worsens Queensland's Sheffield Shield chances

Conor McInerney scored his first-class century, making 142 runs, as South Australia reached 359 for 4 on the first day against Queensland. Jason Sangha contributed 67 runs, while Alex Carey remains not out on 46. Queensland, currently second in the Sheffield Shield standings, needed a win to secure a spot in the final. However, they struggled against South Australia's batting, conceding a large total on a good pitch. McInerney's performance was notable, as he had previously averaged just 20.34 in his first-class career. South Australia will look to build on their strong position in the match.
