The Otago Volts have overcome a belligerent Colin Munro century to post a thrilling three wicket victory over the Auckland Aces at Eden Park Outer Oval.
Having held the Aces to a lead of 217, the Volts successfully negotiated the target in 60.3 overs, though the chase certainly wasn't without
its precarious moments.
Hamish Rutherford (0), Michael Bracewell (2) and Neil Broom (1) all went cheaply to leave the visitors extremely vulnerable at 27 for three.
Aaron Redmond saw out the tough opening spell, but was then caught on 36 in the 28th over with the Volts still needing a further 135 runs for victory.
Nathan McCullum and Sam Wells then put on a crucial 72 run stand for the fifth wicket to bolster their side's chances. Just as McCullum looked to finish with a bang, the 32 year-old was sent on his way for 77.
