Victoria propelled to the pole position after securing a six-wicket win over Tasmania in the 14th match of the Marsh Cup. The University of Tasmania Stadium in Launceston hosted this encounter.

On a slow and sluggish batting track, Victoria won the toss and elected to bowl first. Tasmania's top-order batters couldn't live up to expectations as they collapsed to 42/4 in 9.1 overs. However, Macalister Wright and Beau Webster tried to resurrect the innings in the middle order.

Wright went on to score 34 runs off 37, while Webster contributed 47 runs off 46 balls. Eventually, Tasmania could only post a below-par total of 156, with no other batters stepping up.

Sam Elliott was the wrecker-in-chief, scalping a four-wicket haul for Victoria. Meanwhile, Fergus O'Neill and Will Sutherland bagged three and two wickets, respectively.

In the chase, Victoria lost their opener, Thomas Rogers, for just seven runs. However, Matthew Short held one end firmly to keep the side in a competitive position. Unfortunately, Marcus Harris, captain Handscomb, and Sam Harper couldn't create a significant impact in the middle.

Nevertheless, Short (81* off 88) with the help of Jonathan Merlo (29* off 52) sealed the deal for Victoria in 35.4 overs. Tom Rogers bagged two wickets for Tasmania, but in vain.

On that note, let’s take a look at the updated standings of Marsh Cup 2023.
