Day one Saturday of the semi final at Woori Yallock.
Between Lusatia Park and Kilsyth, the visitors won the toss and took to bat.
After a steady start reaching 33 for the 1st wicket, Lucas Parker then struck the first blow taking his 1st wicket in the 8th over.
Following up he struck again in the 10th and again in the 12th to have the visitors in trouble at 3/48.
Jai Gupta then followed up in the 15th over with his 1st wicket and Kilsyth were in all sorts to be 4/55.
Unternahrer joined D.Smith at the crease and together they stopped the rot.
With much needed patience they kept the score ticking along slowly at just over 2 runs an over to get to the tea break without further loss at 4/110 after 42.
After the tea break and Kilsyth were looking to build a healthy score but a change in the bowling attack proved critical for the home side with Jackson Wright taking his 1st wicket in the 54th over of D.Smith for 43 after a 101 partnership.
With only 2 runs added to the score Viren Kumar took the wicket of the dangerous Unternahrer for 49.
The wheels then fell off and they lost their last 5 wickets for only 22 runs.
Jackson Wright bowled brilliantly finishing with 4/35 from 14 overs and just missing out on a hat-trick and Lucas Parker with 4/31 from 12.1 overs.
With 14 overs left in the days play, Lusatia Park were hoping to get through without loss but unfortunately they lost their 1st wicket finishing at 1/26.
Returning Sunday with another 80 overs to bat and needing another 153 for the win, at less than 2 runs per over the day didn’t start well losing their 2nd wicket in the 4th over of the day.
With the game evenly balanced Steve Morgan and P.B. were pushing the scoring along steadily and after 30 overs Lusatia Park was 2/72.
Unfortunately even though with plenty of overs still to go the wheels completely fell off and Lusatia Park lost 8 wickets for only 41 runs.
Three of Kilsyth’s bowlers took 3 wickets each with Wells 3/6, J.Smith 3/23 and Unternahrer 3/39.
