Victoria beat South Aust, Victoria won by 8 wickets (with 1 ball remaining)

The Bushrangers get up by 8 wickets with one ball to spare. Hodge brings his side home with 75 not out from 61 balls. Cam White played an important innings of 51 from 33 balls in what was a vital partnership for the second wicket.

Dan Harris' 98 off 62 balls was just what bthe Redbacks needed, but unfortunately their 183 was not quite enough as the Bushrangers hold onto top spot on the table. A great match full of tension and drama!
