A cricketer from one of the Indian states, Jammu and Kashmir, was said to have carrying a bag of explosives. He was taken for further questioning but no evidence was found against him.
Deciding to bat, Victoria made 125. A strange record happened in the innings when both the openers were dismissed for duck. Quiney was caught on the very first ball and two balls later, Hodge dragged one inside. This really put the Victorians on the back foot. Blizzard and David Hussey made some runs and took the score to 27 in 3.5 overs. Blizzard was caught and then David Hussey got out for 19 when the score was 59 in the 10th over.
Wade made some quick runs and that took Victoria to 125. Wade scored 18 off 10 balls with 3 fours.
Chasing 126 in 17 overs, skipper Puttick went early for 4. Davis joined Brand played cautiously and kept the scoreboard moving. Brand was run out with a direct hit from McKay. Davis and Duminy played well and took their side towards the target.
Davis scored 69 in 54 balls including 7 fours and 2 sixes. Duminy contributed 18 from 23 balls. These two added 88 runs in 69 balls.
Davos was chosen for the man of the match for his match winning unbeaten 69.
