Scorecard and ball-by-ball details

Adam Voges' unbeaten half-century moved Western Australia to a comfortable five-wicket victory as they took care of the struggling South Australia in Adelaide. Voges guided the chase of the Redbacks' 198 with a composed 81 off 93 balls as they reached the total in the 40th over.

Western Australia took a 27-run lead after the first innings having reduced South Australia to 4 for 75 in 20 overs, and required only 97 in their second bat. Marcus North went for 32 after the break, but Voges, Luke Pomersbach (25) and Mitchell Marsh got them home.

South Australia, who are bottom of the table, needed the late contribution of Graham Manou and his 48-run stand with Chris Duval (24) for the ninth wicket. Marsh, the medium pacer, picked up three wickets in five balls to leave the hosts at 8 for 138 and they did well to recover, with Manou finishing unbeaten on 47.

Daniel Christian showed his power with 39 but too many of the locals only got starts. Michael Hogan was a handful again with 3 for 49 off 11 overs while the spinner Aaron Heal, who opened the bowling, picked up two wickets, including the early stumping of Michael Klinger.
