MATCH REPORT
Tasmania won the toss and elected to bat first, and from the very first ball Tasmania showed their intentions, with Di Venuto hitting a six of Matthew Inness. The next ball went flying off the edge of Di Ventu's bat, and right past Darren Berry's gloves. But this attacking mode couldn't last long, with Di Venuto being caught of the 5th ball of match at cover, trying to hit over the top. Dighton followed suit 2 balls later, getting a leading edge from Warne. Lewis bowled the next over, and had Cunningham caught as first slip, swinging wildly at a wide delivery, for only 1 run. All three bowlers had now got a wicket off their first over. More wickets fell, and it was suddenly 7/48 and Tasmania looked in real trouble. Marsh, Clingleffer, and the tail ender Griffith, were the only ones who looked dangerous with the bat. Clingleffer finished the innings with 39* (57), Inness had a field day with the ball, snaring 4/46 (10 overs), and taking a good catch in the field. Tasmania finished at a dismal 126 off 29 overs (Run Rate 4.34).
Victoria had an easy run chase on their hands, and Matthew Elliot, and Jon Moss, made light work of the Tasmanian opening bowlers, before Moss fell on 32, misjuding a good length ball from Damien Wright. Their partnership was worth 72 runs. A mini collapse seen Victoria fall from 0/72 to 3/98 in the space of only 5 overs. But Hussey made a quick fire 15 (9), to seal the game for Victoria. The hi-lights in this innings were: D.Wright (3/54), M.Elliot (40 Runs), and J.Moss (32 Runs). The MOTM was awarded to Matthew Inness for his superb bowling figures of 4/46, and taking a catch. Victoria next head back to MCG for their match against South Australia, which will prove to be a stunning match.
