Brad Hodge has hit a century to guide Victoria to a 93-run victory over NSW in the inaugural final of the interstate Twenty20 competition at North Sydney oval. Hodge creamed 106 off 54 balls and Bushrangers captain Cameron Wright smashed 46 off 16 to set up Victoria's mammoth total of 7-233 off 20 overs on the tiny ground. The right-handed Hodge was in impeccable touch and only had the one life on 82 as the Test batsman continued his fine summer. The Blues in reply made 140 in 15.2 overs. The official crowd was 5,669 but appeared more like 10,000 with the public continuing to show its support for the sport's latest evolution. |
