Queensland have routed NSW tonight in this rain-reduced contest. The Blues capulated after the loss of David Warner and Phillip Hughes. Nathan Rimmington's 3-13 has earned him Man-of-the-match honours. He bowled beautifully, particularly his second over.

Daniel Vettori showed his extraordinary class bowling two overs for just 7 runs.

The Bulls total of 110 was always too much.

The Blues Champions League and Big Bash title defences are in tatters.

The Bulls are still in Preliminary final contention with a do or die clash against WA coming up on Saturday night.

Join us on Friday night for an equally intriguing clash at the MCG. Victoria must win to ensure a place in the Preliminary final. Tasmania will be playing for pride.

Until then, it's bye for now.
