Played at Adelaide Oval
27 October 2010 - day/night (45-over match)
Western Australia 5 for 199 (Voges 81*) beat South Australia 198 (Manou 47*, Marsh 3-37) by 5 wickets
Western Australia won by 5 wickets (with 34 balls remaining)
Player of the match AC Voges (Western Australia)
Adam Voges' unbeaten half-century moved Western Australia to a comfortable five-wicket victory as they took care of the struggling South Australia in Adelaide. Voges guided the chase of the Redbacks' 198 with a composed 81 off 93 balls as they reached the total in the 40th over.
Marsh entered the fixture with his medium pacers reaping just two wickets at the unflattering average of 69.50.
But the former Australian under 19 captain claimed three SA victims in five deliveries in a blitz which floored the Redbacks.
"It's a credit to the young guys we have got, we started very well," North said.
"And through all the periods of the game, we ticked all the boxes that we were after and we played some good cricket.
"... The exciting thing is we have won two good games, we have scrapped hard, and we have still got a long way to improve."
South Australian captain Michael Klinger lamented his batsmen's top order failings.
"We are just not playing some great cricket at the minute and we have got to turn it around very quickly," Klinger said.
