Queensland allrounder Jack Wildermuth claimed a career-best five-wicket haul as Queensland gained control on the second day against South Australia at Adelaide Oval. After dismissing the Redbacks for 156, the Bulls finished the day on 4 for 90 in their second innings, with a lead of 152 runs, and with Marnus Labuschagne on 40 and Wildermuth on 23.

Chadd Sayers had caused problems for the Bulls by collecting 3 for 17 from his 15 overs, his wickets including the Queensland stand-in captain Joe Burns, who was lbw for 11. However, South Australia had been let down by their own batting earlier in the day; having resumed at 0 for 35 they did not lose their first wicket until 65, but then lost all 10 for 91 runs.

Wildermuth began by having opener Jake Weatherald lbw for 38, and Peter George followed with two wickets in two balls in the next over – Callum Ferguson caught behind and captain Travis Head caught for a golden duck. Jake Lehmann scored a fighting 59 but had little support, and Wildermuth took regular wickets to finish with 5 for 40, while George picked up 3 for 11 from his 15 overs.
