WATCH: Usman Khawaja tosses coin in peculiar manner before Marsh Cup final vs Western Australia

Usman Khawaja tosses coin in peculiar manner: Queensland’s captain tossed the coin in a hilarious manner is Brisbane.

During the final match of the Marsh Cup between Queensland and Western Australia in Brisbane, Queensland captain Usman Khawaja tossed the coin in a hilarious manner to leave everyone in splits.

Standing at the toss alongside Western Australia captain Ashton Turner, Khawaja took a couple of steps before throwing the coin at quite a distance from himself and Turner. It is worth mentioning that Khawaja’s innovative efforts during the toss didn’t come to his rescue as it was Turner who won the toss and put the hosts in to bat.

A clinical performance from the opposition bowlers saw Queensland getting bundled out for 205 in 49.3 overs. Wicket-keeper batsman Jimmy Peirson, who came in to bat at No. 7 in the 15th over, top-scored for Queensland with 79 (83) with the help of six fours and a six.

With bowling figures of 10-1-35-3, Western Australia fast bowler Jhye Richardson was the pick of their bowlers. Apart from Richardson, his new ball partner Nathan Coulter-Nile also picked three wickets.

Chasing a below par 206-run target, Western Australia thrived on the back of veteran batsman Shaun Marsh’s 18th List A century. Coming in to bat at No. 3 in the third over, Marsh scored 101* (132) with the help of 13 fours to seal the chase in the 48th over.
