A comprehensive win by the Bulls then. A slow start by the Bulls before Reardon and Carseldine upped the anti and took them to a competitive 238.

The Tigers chase couldn't have started any worse, with Dighton feathering one through to the keeper down the leg side on the second ball of the innnings. They never really recovered with Swan tearing through the top order in a great spell of swing bowli

Swan has been named Man of the Match for his brilliant 3 for 17 off 10. Laughlin chipped in with four wickets and Hopes three.

A few got starts for the Tigers, but they were never really going to recover after their horrible start.

The win puts Queensland top, however the Victorians (who haven't been playing FRC cricket because they were supposed to be involved in the 20/20 Champions League) have two games up their sleeves.

Thanks for joining me, Andrew Fuss, for today's match. Be sure to join the CricInfo team again on Tuesday for the clash between NSW and SA. Cheers and good evening!

The magic number is 190. If the Bulls can restrict them to 190 or less they'll earn a bonus point, which could be very handy at the end of the year.
