Wellington win an absorbing, see-sawing final.
After being 57/7 in the 15th over (thanks to the bowling of Ollie Newton and Hamish Bennett), Otago bounced back to post 234/8 in their 50. The stars were South African Michael Rippon (82 off 112 deliveries) and Namibian Christy Viljoen (87* off 107 balls- not bad for a #9 batsmen). The pair posted a 145 run partnership for the 8th wicket.
Wellington's start was similar as they slumped to 75/5 (with a tail that wasn't quite as long), but the pair of Malcolm Nofal (73 off 96) and Peter Younghusband (49 off 78) posted 118 for the 6th wicket to get them into striking distance and young wicketkeeper Lauchie Johns, in just his 12th game, got Wellington home with a crucial 24 of 20 balls.
Wellington win by 3 wickets with 8 balls to spare.
Man of the match would have to be Michael Rippon.
Man of the series would probably have to be Hamish Bennett, followed by James Neesham, Jacob Duffy, Andrew Fletcher, Hamish Rutherford and Christi Viljoen- all belonging to either Wellington or Otago.
