Player of the match CA Lynn (Queensland)
The result was a shame for Christian after he posted his highest limited-overs score to revive the Redbacks. South Australia were in trouble at 4 for 76 shortly before their first innings ended, but Christian and Tom Cooper (71) dragged them ahead during a stand of 126. Christian powered to 100 in 90 balls and blasted four sixes before being caught from the final ball of the innings, giving Cameron Gannon his third wicket.
South Australia revived their hopes when Dan Christian (100 off 90 balls) and Tom Cooper (71 off 82 balls) a shared 126-run partnership for the fifth wicket.
Queensland captain Chris Simpson was happy with the spirit of the Bulls.
"That's the best thing about our Queensland team - our spirit has never been questioned," he said.
"We came here obviously to get the full points and to lose in such a close game and have a bit of controversy at the end also makes it worse," Klinger said.
"The guys in the second phase definitely came out and batted really well," he said.
"Christian and Cooper got us back into the game as our top order didn't bat really well at the start."
