Game over. The Redbacks have thumped Victoria by 91 runs. They haev established themselves firmly at the top of the table and have firmed as favourites. Shaun Tait bowled a rapid spell to claim 3 for 12 in his first twoovers.

It tore the heart out of Victoria's run chase and they never recovered.

Tait is man of the match. Kieron pollard also put in an outstanding all-round display making 52 and taking the last two wickets.

The Vics travel west on Sunday to take on the Warriors in a must win clash.

Join us tomorrow from the Gabba as the Bulls host the Tigers. Until then, its good night.
