Ross Taylor and Dane Cleaver put on 111 off just 50 balls to set up a 64-run win for Central Districts against Auckland in New Pylmouth.
Central Districts were put into bat and their in-form opener Mahela Jayawardene struck 31 off 19 after losing his partner George Worker in the very first over. This took them off to a good start and allowed them to keep a healthy run rate. However, they were reduced to 95 for 4 in the 12th over, thanks to Hong Kong international Mark Chapman (2-36) who removed Will Young (30) and Tom Bruce (12) off consecutive overs. This brought Cleaver together with Taylor and the duo stuck into Auckland’s bowling. Cleaver scored 47 (26b, 2×4, 4×6), while Taylor remained unbeaten on 82 (41b, 4×4, 8×6) as Central Districts posted 213.
