Victoria, playing their 1st match of the tourney, dismissed Canterbury for 191 with only Greg Pullar’s 47 gaining the hosts respectability - James Hill took 3-25. Victoria struggled in reply passing the target for the loss of 8 wickets with Hill making a determined 70. Mike Smit took 4-40 and Pullar 3-35 as Canterbury almost defended their small total.
