Geyser City and Taupo Wanderers share top billing after two rounds of the Rotorua senior reserve 40-over series.
Both teams sit on 12 points after winning their matches against Bay of Plenty Indians and Central at Ray Boord Park.
The match between the Wanderers and Central went down to the wire. Batting first, Wanderers set a modest target of 150 all out.
The Taupo side's top order struggled to get any partnerships going. P. Thornton got a start but he was bowled by Chanse Perham, who picked up 3/19 in six overs.
It took Taupo's middle order to resurrect their innings, with Carl Robb 33 and Sage Davey 31 sharing a 74-run partnership for the sixth wicket before it was brought to an end when Davey was deceived by the bowling of John Collier, who managed to take a catch off his own bowling. Collier ended with figures of 2/24.
