CLT20: Victoria crush Wayamba to stay alive for semis berth

Share

Centurion: Victoria produced a disciplined all-round performance to inflict a humiliating eight-wicket defeat on Wayamba and keep their hopes alive of reaching the semifinals of the Champions League Twenty20 on Monday.

Peter Siddle returned with a four-wicket haul to help Victoria bowl out Wayamba for a paltry 106 after Jehan Mubarak won the toss and elected to bat.

David Hussey (47) and Aaron Finch (38) then shared an unbeaten 47-ball 77-run third wicket partnership to overhaul the target with 6.4 overs to spare as Victoria moved to the second spot in the points table of Group A.

Victoria's brilliant run-chase have also improved their run-rate but the road to semifinals will depend on the result of the match between the Warriors and Chennai Super Kings at Port Elizabeth on Wednesday.
