Otago won the toss in their match against CD and batted first. CD’s opening bowler Dominic Rayner bowled impressively taking 6/46 from nine overs. A fifth wicket partnership of 151 between Mark Craig and Sam Wells boosted Otago from 83/4 to 234/5 but the tail folded quickly and they were all out for 260 on the last ball of the innings.
In reply CD was in trouble at 21/3 and never recovered. Opening bowler Mat Harvie took 3/18 off seven overs and CD’s best partnership was 76 for the fifth wicket between James De Terte and David Meiring. After this pair were dismissed only James Kuru, with 18 not out, offered any resistance and CD was all out for 164 in 41.5 overs.
• Otago 260 (Sam Wells 87, Mark Craig 70, Dominic Rayner 6/46) beat Central Districts 164 (James de Terte 51, Mat Harvie 3/18, Mark Craig 3/48) by 96 runs
Tomorrow [Saturday] is a rest day. The competition resumes on Sunday with Canterbury playing Otago, Auckland against Wellington, and Northern Districts playing Central Districts.
