What a victory by the Bushrangers! The partnerships for the fourth and fifth wickets combined for 74 from 37 balls to get Victoria home by 6 wickets with three balls to spare.
David Hussey's 38 off 16 balls gave them a chance before Steve Smith pulled off a miraculous catch to remove him. But Bravo launched two sixes and a boundary in his eight ball 18 to steal the match.
Bravo is named Man-of-the-Match after his 3 for 32 with the ball and the match winner cameo with the bat.
The Bushrangers go top with two wins from two starts. The defending champions, the Blues, are 1 win and 1 loss.
Join us tomorrow for a big clash from the Adelaide Oval as SA and QLD square off to try and remain undefeated. Thanks for your company.
