One-Day Cup (Australia), Perth
Western Australia 53 (20.1 overs): Webster 6-17, Stanlak 3-12
Tasmania 55-3 (8.3 overs): Owen 29 (17); Paris 2-10
Tasmania won by seven wickets
Western Australia lost their last eight wickets for just one run in an extraordinary collapse against Tasmania in Australia's domestic 50-over competition.
The three-time defending champions reached 52-2 but were bowled out for 53 amid a flurry of wickets on a bouncy, green pitch in Perth.
The one run added came from a wide, with numbers five to 10 in the batting order all dismissed for ducks.
Tasmania seamer Beau Webster took 6-17 and fast bowler Billy Stanlake 3-12. Tasmania chased their target in 8.3 overs for a seven-wicket win.
The collapse was made more remarkable by the fact 10 of Western Australia's XI were Australia internationals, with number 10 Joel Paris the only uncapped player.
It was the second-lowest score in the tournament's history, only beaten by South Australia's 51 against Tasmania in 2003.
It is also the worst eight-wicket collapse in Australian domestic 50-over cricket, beating the previous professional record of 8-24 by Victoria in 2002-03.
