Queensland win by 24 runs

Bulls captain Simpson very happy with his troopers. Although you wouldn't know it from his facial expression!

Thornely obviously disappointed. His young side played with freedom and their inexperience showed in what wasa tricky run chase on an inconsistent pitch

Aaron Bird named Man of the Match for his superb 5-26. Unfortunately it was in a losing cause.

On behalf of all the staff here at Cricinfo, thanks for joining us this evening (Australian time). A good win to the Bulls who never let the Blues out of their sights even though they were defending a mediocre 177. It proved to be enough on the day.

This is Marc Ellison saying thanks you and goodnight!
