It lost its first wicket when the total was 82 and a second one quickly followed, but the joy would be short-lived for the Kangaroos, as they took just one more wicket for the innings.
Casey-South Melbourne got the runs in the 40th over, to secure the two bonus points for reaching the target within 40 overs.

The match was shortened to a one-dayer after day one was called off because of rain earlier in the season.
