David Reid with 54 and Andrew Craig-Jackson 41 also provided strong batting support.

In reply, Victoria II were skittled for a paltry 44 in 20 overs, against some fine bowling by Michael Wilson 3 for 15, Andrew Palmer 2 for 10, Niall Greenlees 2 for 9 and Andy Bell 1 for 7, while Craig-Jackson was responsible for the run-out.
