Western Australia eased past a winless South Australia at Bankstown Oval to all but secure a spot in the finals of the domestic limited-overs tournament. Callum Ferguson's 82 guided the Redbacks to 8 for 215 on a slow pitch, but a series of cameos from WA's batsmen always kept the target in hand.
Nathan Coulter-Nile and Nathan Rimmington were the Warriors' most adept bowlers against an SA line-up sapped of confidence and experience by a series of injuries, while Voges' occasional left-arm spin shaded the more full-time variety of Ashton Agar.
However Agar was on hand to accompany Ashton Turner to the target in spite of some challenging spells from Gary Putland and the former New South Welshman Adam Zampa.
The result took WA temporarily to the top of the competition table, pending the outcome of the day-night fixture between New South Wales and Victoria at Blacktown.
