Thanks to a performing top order, Central have found themselves leading the Rotorua senior reserves 40-over series with one round remaining.
With Central opening batsman Ben Fraser finding form at the right end of the season, Central have again picked up another win and defended the Grantleys Liquor Merchants Challenge Cup.
Fraser scored 52 in his side's six-wicket win over Taupo Wanderers at the weekend, the left-hander's third successive half century in as many weeks.
The Wanderers won the toss and decided to take advantage of the home pitch at Owen Delany Park by batting first. However, the plan back-fired when the home side were bowled out in the 34th over for 141, with Blain Inch top-scoring with a well struck 59.
Central had little difficulty chasing down the total in the 28th over.
