A late order collapse proved costly for Greenvale Kangaroos in Victorian Premier Cricket against Geelong on Saturday.
The Kangaroos looked on track to record their first win of the season, before disaster hit late in the day.
The Kangaroos restricted Geelong to just 142, bowling them out in the second last over.
Humza Ali (2-11 off 10 overs), Sunam Gautam (2-12 off 10 overs) and Zaheer Hussain took two wickets each for the Kangaroos.
The Kangaroos lost two early wickets, but were able to steady the innings and were sitting nicely at 2-82, needing just 61 runs for victory with eight wickets in hand.
