Blues v. Redbacks - Pura Cup

[Donny]

Three quick wickets to NSW - 2 to MacGill and one to Nicholson - have swung the game back their way.

The Redbacks still need 70 runs.
---------------------------------------------

At lunch, they need 61 runs to complete the highest ever 4th. innings run chase to win. NSW need 3 wickets.
---------------------------------------------------------

MacGill (3/137) gets another and now S.A. needs 48 with 2 wickets in hand. Higgs (29 n.o.) is batting well. Tait needs to stick with him.
---------------------

8/481 would've won most matches on the last day. This is a great effort by The Redbacks. They need 40 more. Higgs is 36 n.o.
--------------------------------------

Higgs just tonks a six from Mark Waugh and they need 34.
--------------

Tait goes as MacGill takes his 4th. What an important job for Rofe to have to do.
----------------------------

Nicho replaces Waugh and will bowl to Higgs, on 42. Second ball is cut through point for 4. 30 needed.

Higgs brings up his 50 with a four. 26 to win. Rofe facing MacGill. Plays out a maiden. What drama !!

[Donny]

All over. Higgs plays on to Nicho.

What a great effort from The Redbacks.
