New South Wales surged to their third successive win of the Sheffield Shield, with a six-wicket win over Queensland in Brisbane, needing a little over 30 overs to chase down a target of 128.NSW already had an upper hand when play resumed on the third day, having reduced Queensland to 5 for 129. The pace trio of Sean Abbott, Trent Copeland and Doug Bollinger went on to wrap up Queensland for 215, the only resistance coming from batsman Marnus Labuschagne, who battled to 88.NSW’s modest fourth-innings pursuit suffered a stutter when they lost three wickets in four overs. That slide, however, came after the openers David Warner and Nic Maddinson had already added 72 for the first wicket to take command. While Warner scored 37, Steven Smith was dismissed for 9, and it was left to Man-of-the-Match Daniel Hughes to see NSW home. Three of NSW’s four wickets were taken by Luke Feldman.
