Victoria have scored 9 for 321 to set NSW a challenging target in the one-day cup elimination final at North Sydney Oval.

Victorian openers Dan Christian (117) and Rob Quiney (89) put on a 202-run opening stand, equalling the season-high set by NSW pair David Warner and Peter Nevill in a match between the same two teams last Sunday.

Christian was in particularly devastating form scoring his runs off just 90 deliveries and hitting seven sixes in the process.

Quiney was the first to fall and his exit brought about a slowing of the run-rate which at one stage was well in excess of seven runs an over.

Victoria’s three top-order batsman went for the addition of only 25 runs, while the in-form David Hussey then fell to a stunning one-handed catch from paceman Gurinder Singh.

Victorian danger-man Cameron White was dropped early and was eventually caught on the boundary within sight of a sixth successive half-century, having made a typically robust 42 off 37 balls.

All-rounder Sean Abbott was the best of the NSW bowlers taking 3 for 53 to back up his man-of- the-match performance on Tuesday.

The winner will face last season’s champions Queensland in Sunday’s final.
