Cricket : Otago closes gap on Auckland in Provincial A

With a second consecutive bonus point win, Otago are closing on competition leaders Auckland after today’s third round of the Provincial A tournament at Lincoln.

While Auckland and Northern Districts also recorded wins in today’s round, Otago are now just two points behind Auckland. Their win against Central Districts today included an impressive all-round performance by Mark Craig, who scored 70 runs and took three wickets for 48 for the southerners.

Other highlights of the round were a quick-fire 150 off 145 balls from Northern’s Brad Wilson against Wellington – which included 17 fours and three sixes. Auckland’s Dusan Hakaraia was unbeaten on 112 off 116 balls to lead Auckland to beat Canterbury
