Scorecard

Western Australia coasted to a nine-wicket win over Tasmania despite an outstanding debut century from David Dawson on the final day of the Pura Cup match at the WACA. Resuming their second innings on 8 for 159, Tasmania were all out for 244, an overall lead of just 24 runs.

Mike Hussey, who was Man of the Match for his 210 in the first innings, and Murray Goodwin quickly knocked off the required runs after Ryan Campbell was dismissed for 10.

A 59-run, 10th-wicket stand between Dawson and Brett Geeves meant Tasmania avoided an innings defeat and Dawson finished unbeaten on 123. Brad Hogg collected career-best figures for Western Australia with 6 for 44.
