Scorecard

South Australia won a thrilling ING Cup day-night match at the Adelaide Oval, squeezing home against Tasmania by three wickets and with one ball to spare. Chasing 251, Darren Lehmann anchored the chase with 83 before Graham Manou scored the winnings runs - and also hit the sponsors' sign, earning him A$50,000.

Shaun Tait got SA off to a great start as he took 8 for 43 in Tasmania's innings of 250. That was the first ever eight-wicket haul by a bowler in Australia's domestic limited-overs competition, enough to earn him the Man of the Match award.

After SA had slumped to 106 for 5 in their chase, Lehmann, playing his first game since October having recovered from an achilles injury, guided SA over the stormy waters with 83 from 88 balls. He added 130 with Mick Miller, who scored a valuable 51, but after they both fell, the game was back in the balance.

In a nail-biting finish, SA needed nine to win with five balls remaining, and Manou, the wicketkeeper, smashed a six over midwicket which hit the sponsors' sign, meaning he won a $50,000 prize for the second time in two seasons.

He scored two off the following ball to level the scores, and then hit a four past midwicket off the fifth ball of the over to win the match, after facing only six balls in his innings of 14.
