Greenvale Kangaroos weren’t able to reproduce the form from the previous week as they went down to Footscray in Victorian Premier Cricket.
The Kangaroos dominated day one of the match, but with rain washing out the majority of play across first XI games, all matches reverted to one-dayers.
The Bulldogs made the most of the second chance to take the win and pick up a bonus point along the way.
The Bulldogs smashed their way to 5-248 from their overs, on the back of 111 not out from opener Travis Dean.
Dean, who opens the batting for Victoria, had support with skipper Dylan Kight chipping in with 61 and Hamish Winter-Irving making a quick-fire 37.
Jordan Buckingham and Nathan Johnson took two wickets each for the Kangaroos.
The Kangaroos made a fight of it, but fell short finishing 9-193 for their 50 overs.
Early on it was a case of getting a partnership going, before losing a wicket.
The best partnership came between Zaheer Hussain and Jack Rhodes, who put on 63 for the fifth wicket.
Hussain was the pick of the batsmen with Rhodes the next best, making 31.
The Kangaroos next match is against Fitzroy Doncaster at Greenvale Reserve.
In Victorian Turf Cricket Association senior division, the Kangaroos lost to Yarraville Club on Saturday.
The Kangaroos made 193 with Matt Bonello the star, run out on 99.
