Victoria 298 for 7 (Harper 96, Harris 50, Kerr 3-57) beat New South Wales 239 (Hughes 69, Davies 41, Sutherland 3-39) by 59 runs
Victoria remained unbeaten in the domestic one-day competition after a comfortable 59-run win over New South Wales.
NSW’s chase never got going at the Junction Oval in Melbourne on Friday and they were all out for 239 in the 47th over as Victoria backed up their win over Tasmania at the same venue in the opening game of the campaign.
The 23-year-old also took a catch off Todd Murphy’s bowling for the second last wicket of NSW’s innings.
After captain Peter Handscomb won the toss and elected to bat, Victoria powered to 298 for 7.
Victoria’s innings was boosted significantly in the final five overs by Campbell Kellaway’s cameo of 38 from 26 balls. They went at 10 runs an over from the last five to ensure they had a winnable score.
NSW will be next in action on October 9 when they host Queensland at North Sydney Oval, while Victoria will face Western Australia at the WACA on the same day.
