Colts are well-placed to successfully defend a big total put together by an even batting performance all the way through its line-up against Bullants.

Ben Anson has scored 193 runs in five innings for the Bullants this season and will need to perform well for his side to successfully chase the target of 172.

Dylan Arnott’s early season form, that has seen him claim 11 wickets, will make the task even more difficult at Cornell Park.

The other match is evenly poised heading into the second Saturday of play. Lubeck-Murtoa will start the day on 1-22 after dismissing Jung Tigers for 163.

With Graeme Reddie the one wicket to have already fallen, Lubeck-Murtoa will look for Lachlan Patching, six not out, and Shannon Reddie, nine not out, to start the day well. If Jung can take more early wickets, the side will quickly gain confidence and it could become a nervous run-chase.
