Brad Hodge hits unbeaten 140 as Victoria beat Queensland by two wickets in Ryobi Cup one-day match

Veteran one-day guru Brad Hodge steered Victoria to a stunning two-wicket win over Queensland with a memorable century at the Gabba.

The Bushrangers looked gone when they slumped to 7-170 in the 36th over in reply to the Bulls' total of 8-239 from their 45 overs but, having been dropped on 15, Hodge smashed four sixes and 15 fours en route to an unbeaten 140 from just 121 balls, hitting the winning runs with five balls left.

Brad Hodge rushed to his second hundred in consecutive matches as he guided a difficult Victorian chase to beat Queensland on a cold night at the Gabba.

Player of the match BJ Hodge (Victoria)

Hodge, who blasted 134 against Western Australia last week, launched two late sixes and 28 from his last eight balls, taking him to a career-best 140 off 121 deliveries. 

Victoria's acting skipper David Hussey said Hodge's experience meant lot to the side both on and off the field and his attitude was of the highest standard.

"He's on fire," Hussey said at the post match interview.
