South Australia 8 for 278 (Manenti 60, McAndrew 55, Head 47) beat Queensland 217 (Truloff, Renshaw 43, Thornton 3-55) by 61 runs
South Australia's new-look bowling line-up delivered in style to pick up a comfortable 62-run one-day opening-round win over Queensland.
Last season's strugglers bowled out Queensland for 217 off 46.5 overs at Allan Border Field having been sent into bat and posting 8 for 278.
Sam Truloff top-scored for Queensland with 49 but found himself tied down for long periods, while Matt Renshaw contributed a quickfire 43 coming in at No.5.
Conway picked up 2 for 37 from 8.5 overs, Wes Agar was frugal throughout for 1-30 from his 10 overs, while Manenti also impressed with 2 for 37 from his allotted overs.
It was some debut from Manenti, who previously had a single one-day Cup match with Tasmania to his credit. Manenti, the son of Australia's women's world champion rugby sevens coach John Manenti, also top-scored with a rapid-fire 60 from 45 balls.
South Australia were reeling at 6 for 148 with their recognised batsman all back in the pavilion. But McAndrew and Manenti scored at better than a run a ball to find the kind of momentum that was missing from Queensland's effort with the bat under lights.
South Australia's key batters all found a way to get out just as they look settled. Opener Jake Weatherald made 37, Alex Carey posted 20 and captain Travis Head looked set for a big score before he was stumped off the bowling of part-time spinner Renshaw for 47.
Renshaw, after working on his bowling during the winter, picked up 2 for 30 while newly capped Test legspinner Mitch Swepson impressed with 2 for 42.
