That also wraps up our coverage of this game. Thanks for tuning in. Switch tabs to watch more cricketing networks across formats. For now, this is Megh Mandaliya, signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Anirudh Modi, and scorer/analyst Raju Khariya. See you soon!
Otago Volts Captain | Hamish Rutherford: "You always believe you've got a chance, I feel they put the ball in the right areas and made it difficult for us, Foxcroft played a good knock and little contributions from the batters ensured we got a good total. Bacon is good bloke, he is my roomie and I'm looking forward to wha he has to say. We were bowling against the wind and it was just a good performance from everyone. We got the Ford trophy in a few days, we hope to get a nice performance there and come back and fire again."
Tom Bruce (Central Stags Captain): "I belove 160 was a little under par and we should have chased his total down. The bowlers were outstanding today. We are not reluctant to change much. It was awesome to play here. The crowd was fantastic. Little disappointed, but we still have some three-odd games to go and we will try and win those."
Gamechanger of The Match | Matt Bacon: "Just trying to soak it in as much as possible, didn't quite do the job in the last two game, so just happy to deliver. A lot going on in the mind but I'm always focused on doing the best possible thing. I was just trying to get some deviation off the seam and it worked like a treat. I knew the sun was out and we just try to go out and go for it."

10:42 AM IST | The Otago Volts have ended the Central Stags' reign and have thwarted them by 4 runs in a last-ball thriller.
In pursuit of 167, Matthew Bacon got an early breakthrough for the Volts by dismissing Ben Smith for a duck. Bayley Wiggins, then joined forces with Will Young and the duo stitched a partnership of 47 runs. Wiggins tried to be a little more innovative and accelerated the innings early on while Young played the second fiddle.
The partnership was broken by Michael Rae as he got rid of Wiggins 41(24). Following that, the Stags lost a couple of wickets in quick succession as Ross Taylor 21(20) and Young 25(22) both returned back. Just when things were tilting in favor of the Volts, captain Tom Bruce resurrected the innings for the Stags.
The right-hander secured 32(21) before Bacon dismissed him with a spectacular caught and bowled. Bacon then utterly demolished the lower-middle order and brought the Volts right back at the contest. Eventually, Stags required 10 runs off the last over and they fell 4 runs short. Bacon acquired a five-wicket haul and finished his stint on 5/28.
Dean Foxcroft kept marching on but he was running out of partners from the other end. Nick Kwant orchestrated a quickfire 22(14) before Toole dismissed him and since then the Volts kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Eventually, it was Foxcroft’s 66(49), including 3 fours and 4 maximums that cruised them past 160. The Stags bowlers exploited the slower surface and delivered consistent lines. Brett Randell, Toole, and Josh Clarkson claimed two scalps. Stick around for the post-match presentation!
