Full commentary

Tasmania get up by 23 runs

Dighton's 95 was vitally important to his side's victory, as was Marsh's 61

Harwood bowled well for his 5-41 to keep the Tigers below 300 but it was the bowling of Divin and Geeves who took the key scalps of Quiney, Hodge, Hussey and Crosthwaite

Hodge's 103 off 108 looked to be the decisive factor with ten overs remaining but when he fell, the end was nigh for the Bushrangers who failed to push on with the game in the balance

Marsh was disappointed with his side's fielding effort, but their victory takes the Tigers to the top of the table on 14 points, one ahead of Victoria on 13

Man of the Match goes to Shane Harwood for his 5-41

Thanks for joining us hereat Cricinfo this afternoon/evening, the Tigers prevailed by 23 runs in a tight and exciting encounter. Please join us again next time, on behalf of the crew, this is Marc Ellison saying thank you and goodnight
