The Wolves would make the runs with three overs to spare, finishing 2-123.

Pell made 77 off 57 balls including seven fours and one six.

Lalor Stars, who were runners-up in 2017-18, are through to the next round after beating Dennis.

The Stars then powered to the win in just the 12th over.

Aaron Amos made a third straight 50 across all formats, with 79 off just 30 balls. He hit seven sixes and seven fours.
