32nd Over
Ryan Harris is the deserved man of the match, claiming 4/26 from 7.4 overs and the final two wickets of the match to get the Bulls up. Congratulations to the XXXX Gold Queensland Bulls. 2012/13 Ryobi Cup champions. So long from the MCG!
However, McDermott snuck one through Sheridan's defences and McKay was well caught by Hartley looking to run one to third man. Fawad Ahmed fell first ball, caught at first slip and the Bulls claimed 3/2 in 5 balls to snatch the win!
Handscomb threw away a match winning innnigs by holing out in the deep and Hastings went cheaply and the Bulls were favourites again. But Clint McKay got them back on track for the win with some lusty blows including one massive six over mid wicket!
They then looked on target for the win with White and Handscomb batting well and combining for a 63 run 5th-wicket stand. But White edged one down leg side and that triggered a collapse.
They'll rue the runs scored by Jason Floros in the Bulls' innings, those runs proved costly in the finish. And they didn't look like it early, slumping to 4/42 in the 13th over and falling behind the par score.
A sensational finish here at the MCG. The XXXX Godl Queensland Bulls have snatched the victory and the Ryobi One Day cup at the death, winn by two runs with two balls to spare. Heartbreak again for the Commonwealth Bank Victorian Bushrangers.
