Magnificent Marsh leads WA to title with 80no
It completed a resoundingly dominant tournament for Justin Langer's side, who dropped just one match - ironically to South Australia.
Cameron Bancroft was also superb with the bat, making 76 from 83 in a match-defining stand of 126 with Marsh, while Ashton Turner made a quick-fire 35 from 24 and Shaun Marsh also chipped in with 32.

Western Australia set 249 to win JLT Cup
Returning from international duty in India, spearhead Nathan Coulter-Nile and Andrew Tye were among four bowlers to finish with two wickets apiece before the Warriors began their chase on Saturday.
Opting to bat first, in-form SA openers Alex Carey (16) and Jake Weatherald (4) were gone inside the first five overs.
Callum Ferguson smashed seven boundaries in a quick 37 but fell to a spectacular one-handed catch by 'keeper Cameron Bancroft off Coulter-Nile.
Part-time leggie D'Arcy Short picked up two wickets in the middle overs, including the big scalp of heavy-hitter Tom Cooper for 63.

Cooper carries SA hopes with fighting 63
Cooper combined with all-rounder Cameron Valente (38) for a 45-run sixth-wicket partnership but holed out in the deep in the 42nd over, leaving the score at 6-209.
Late sixes from tail-ender Adam Zampa (26 off 23 balls) pushed SA to a competitive score, but it never looked enough against an outstanding Warriors team effort.
Mitch Marsh was named man of the match for his match-winning knock while brother Shaun was named Player of the Tournament for 412 runs at 82.40, with a century and three fifties.
