In a Sheffield Shield match on November 24, 2024, Tasmania secured a 55-run victory over New South Wales (NSW) at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Tasmania posted scores of 364 and 268/8 declared in their two innings, while NSW managed 338 and 239.
Tasmanian spinner Matthew Kuhnemann was instrumental in the win, claiming a five-wicket haul in NSW’s second innings. His performance was pivotal in restricting NSW’s chase, underscoring his value to the Tasmanian bowling attack.
Despite a valiant 68-run effort from NSW’s Sam Konstas in the first innings, Tasmania’s bowlers, led by Kuhnemann, maintained control to secure the win.
Kuhnemann’s move to Tasmania has been fruitful, with his performances enhancing his prospects for national selection. However, a recent thumb injury has raised concerns about his availability for upcoming tours.
