Canterbury strengthened its claim to a spot in the one-day playoffs with a tenacious 54-run win against Otago in Queenstown yesterday. But the game looked lost while Neil Broom and Anaru Kitchen were batting. The middle order of Leo Carter (29), Cam Fletcher (45), Theo van Woerkom (31) and Sean Davey (22) all got starts but were unable to go on. Otago wrestled back control of the game through its senior statesmen Broom and Kitchen. He trapped Rippon in front for eight, but Broom held the key to victory for Otago.
