Wellington Firebirds vs Central Stags 10th Match Highlights
Winning the toss, the Wellington Firebirds elected to bat first, a decision that initially looked promising. The Firebirds set off to a steady start, building an impressive opening partnership of 98 runs.
The innings saw Tom Blundell contribute with a steady 29 runs before falling to a sharp delivery. Following his dismissal, the skipper Nick Kelly showcased his skills with a quick knock of 32 runs off 22 balls.
Sadly for the Firebirds, just as they seemed to be consolidating their position, opener Tim Robinson was dismissed by Jayden Lennox for a stunning 89 runs from just 57 balls, having hit several boundaries along the way.
However, the dismissal of Tim Robinson sparked a dramatic collapse in the Wellington batting order. The middle and lower-order batters struggled to find their footing, with three players failing to score more than 16 runs each.
Despite the late-order slump, the collective effort of the top-order batsmen saw the Firebirds post a formidable total of 192 runs for the loss of 4 wickets after their allotted 20 overs.

Jack Boyle was particularly impressive, notching up 77 runs which included several well-timed boundaries. Meanwhile, Cleaver provided solid support with 46 runs before both fell to the opposition.
After their crucial dismissals, Tom Bruce added 19 runs to the tally, but it was William Clark who ultimately sealed the victory for the Stags.
