Queensland will be looking to bounce back against New South Wales as the arch rivals face off in the National Indigenous Cricket Championships men's final on Monday afternoon.
The blues got the better of the maroons in their round fixture on Sunday evening, New South Wales winning easily after bundling Queensland out for 69 in 9.5 overs.
Dylan McLachlan top scored for Queensland with 41* (31), however his captain's knock went in vein with no other Queensland batters reaching double figures.
Four New South Wales bowlers were amongst the wickets, with opener Austyn Nugent the pick with 3/10.
New South Wales cruised in the chase, ending 4/73 with two and a half overs remaining.
New South Wales captain Brendan Smith took the game away from Queensland from the outset of the chase, the hard-hitting left hander striking five boundaries and two sixes on the way to a quick fire 34 (11).
The previous day saw New South Wales overcome Western Australia in a final ball thriller.
After tournament standout Brock Larance's 54 (30) led WA to 6/80, it was left to Ben Mitchell to hit a boundary from the final ball of the innings to see NSW over the line.
Pat Rosser top scored for NSW with 17 (18), one of five NSW batters to reach double figures.
Wickets were shared by four WA bowlers, with opener Jay Collard (1/8) the pick of the attack.
Larance was again in the runs against Victoria on Sunday, the Western Australian opener belting five 4s and five 6s on the way to a tournament high 74 (37) to lead Western Australia to an imposing 3/115.
Victoria posted 3/87 in response with Josh Nanson (26 from 21) top scoring.
Other weekend fixtures saw Queensland (1/30) easily account for the Northern Territory (9/29), Victoria (5/97) overcome South Australia (4/54) and Tasmania (3/97) too good for the Northern Territory (3/43).
Queensland will face New South Wales in the tournament's men's final from 2:15pm AEST at Mackay's Great Barrier Reef Arena.
