Western Australia all-rounder Mitch Marsh was left a despondent figure after injuring his left hamstring in Saturday's 14-run Ryobi Cup loss to South Australia at the WACA Ground.

Marsh, who hit the headlines last month following the Perth Scorchers' boozy night out in South Africa, suffered the injury while diving to make his ground late in WA's run chase.

The 21-year-old banged the ground in frustration several times after realising the extent of the injury, before limping off the ground.

WA were 5-183 at the time of Marsh's injury, needing 37 runs for victory off 40 balls to chase down South Australia's 9-219.

Marsh (21 off 21 balls) was looking in ominous touch, but his departure sparked a collapse of 4-22 as Travis Birt, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Hilton Cartwright and Jason Behrendorff all fell in quick succession.

And with Marsh unable to return to the crease, WA had no choice but to call their innings closed at 9-205, giving South Australia their third win from four games in the one-day competition this year.

Marsh's injury capped a turbulent match which featured several momentum swings and a dummy spit from Redbacks coach Darren Berry.

Berry made his way over to WA's dressing room early in the Warriors' run chase before unleashing an animated rant towards new WA coach Justin Langer.

Langer appeared unfazed by Berry's tirade, which was believed to be based around Berry's dislike of the current decision review system being used.

Berry's antics made for an interesting coaching debut for Langer, who would have experienced a wide range of emotions in the topsy-turvy match.

South Australia were in all sorts of bother after crashing to 5-61, before a maiden half-century to 20-year-old Alex Ross (62) and a handy 46 from Johan Botha lifted the Redbacks to their competitive total of 9-219.

In reply, WA were cruising at 1-76 before it all went horribly wrong, despite a career-best 74 from Warriors opener Sam Whiteman.

Redbacks all-rounder Dan Christian (3-62) played a crucial role for the visitors, claiming the key scalps of Whiteman, Marcus North (18) and Adam Voges (15).

Warriors paceman Mitchell Johnson continued his solid start to the summer with figures of 3-47 from 13 overs.

Langer said the initial prognosis on Marsh was that he'd torn his hamstring and would spend around four-to-six weeks on the sidelines.

"It's a huge blow for lots of reasons," Langer said. "We've got a Shield game and one-dayer in Tassie next week which he won't be available for.

"Then it's unlikely he'll be available for the Scorchers. He's pushing hard to play Australian one-day and Twenty20 cricket, so it's going to be hard (to push up for selection) if he's not playing."

Berry confirmed his animated conversation with Langer was about their confusion over the decision review system.

"At the lunch break, JL and I were having a chat about where we were going to go for dinner tonight, and we were chatting about the confusion around the DRS system," Berry said.

"We are all very confused by it."
