Victory 132 for 6 (Harper 59) beats Western Australia 108 (Murphy 4-27, O’Neill 3-12)
Western Australia’s hopes of winning a fourth consecutive cup title in one day ended after a rain-affected 15-run loss to Victoria under the DLS method.
Setting a revised target of 124, WA never got going with the bat. Captain Ashton Turner made 24 off 24 balls before being caught behind Murphy, but no other WA batsman got past 20.
Cameron Bancroft continued his poor run of form after missing out on Test selection and was dismissed for 4 off 17 balls. Bancroft only once scored more than 16 in his last 12 innings, a run that included four ducks.
When play resumed, Harper took a while to get going but picked up the pace as he hit five fours and three sixes to anchor the home team’s innings.
The win gives Victoria a 3-2 record, putting it in contention for a spot in the finals, while WA (1-4) is out of contention. WA have won five of the last seven one-day cup titles and six of the last 10, including the last three in a row.
