Zach's low scoring two day game concluded with both sidesbatting twice and Pakenham going down to a seven-wicket defeat. Continuing at24-1 after being bowled out for 80 last week, they fared slightly better inmustering 103, but Cardinia had little trouble knocking off the 60 needed afterposting 126 last week. Zach's batting duties were over and done with last weekso he was restricted to keeping for the 11 overs that the hosts needed tocomplete the win.
Jordy and Ryan suffered defeat as well as they were a longway off matching the ex-students' 286-8 posted last week. In the end they fell127 runs short with Jordy only managing five runs, though Ryan chipped in with57.

In Canterbury down in New Zealand, the two day head-to-headbetween Fin and Caleb appears to be going Caleb's way as he scored 84 in 110balls with ten fours and a six in a total of 205-8 in reply to Riccarton's 121in which Fin scored 12 not out. Fin took 1-56 in Heathcote's innings and hisside finished on 23-1 in their second innings, still 61 runs behind.
