Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 12 Oct, 12:30 · Archive
South Australia defeated Victoria by 70 runs in a one-day cricket match, with Matthew Gilkes scoring 127 and Jerssis Wadia taking three wickets.
South Australia defeated Victoria by 70 runs in a one-day match at Junction Oval on Monday, chasing down Victoria's target of 312. Matthew Gilkes, who switched from New South Wales this season, scored 127 from 115 balls at number five, hitting 13 fours and four sixes in his first interstate century. South Australia's total proved decisive after Victoria's batting collapse.
Victoria had showed promise when openers Ollie Peake and Liam Blackford combined for a 114-run partnership to reach 4-199 in the 37th over. But Peake's dismissal sparked a dramatic collapse as Victoria lost their last six wickets for only 42 runs, finishing on 241 off 43.5 overs. Peake top-scored for Victoria with 73 from 74 balls.
Jerssis Wadia, an Indian-born spinner who holds an Adelaide Strikers BBL contract, was the decisive factor. His left-arm finger spin took 3-37 from 10 overs, building pressure that proved instrumental in Victoria's downfall. This was South Australia's second successive win over Victoria, having defeated them by an innings two days earlier at the same venue.
