Victoria 9 for 281 (Molineux 113, Sutherland 68, Moloney 3-29, Graham 3-50) beat Tasmania 235 (Villani 73, Day 5-41) by 46 runs

That followed a second-wicket partnership of 92 in 16 overs with Ellyse Perry which laid the foundation for the innings.

Victoria's didn't close particularly well with the bat, losing 7 for 38 in the final seven overs but it did not end up proving costly.

But Day, the left-arm spinner, changed things when she removed Villani and did considerable damage to the middle order. When she had Carey caught in the deep it was a massive dent in Tasmania's chances although Emma Manix-Geeves and Moloney kept some hope alive before Day claimed her fifth wicket.

The WNCL now breaks for the WBBL which begins next week and resumes in December.
