Vics prove too strong

VICTORIA have lifted the one-day cup for the sixth time, and their first since 2010-11, despite the seven-wicket heroics of Tasmanian quick Gurinder Sandhu.

The Vics set a target of 275 in Wednesday’s final, before bowling the Tigers out for 164.

Sandhu starred with seven wickets, including a hat-trick, but player-of-the-final honours went to Victorian skipper Peter Handscomb, who scored 49 runs and took four catches.

Gold Coast product and Tasmania batsman Ben McDermott was named player of the series.
