22:20 Local Time, 09:20 GMT, 14:50 IST: Party time for Central Districts. Joyous faces all around. Chasing 209, Otago hit a roadblock losing three wickets in the first six overs which made it extremely difficult for them to make a comeback. Central Districts's bowlers kept chipping away with wickets at regular intervals and kept things in check. With the asking rate climbing every over, the visitors were forced to play the catch-up game. The lower-order did make some contribution, but the outcome was a foregone conclusion as Otago fell short by 54 runs. Ben Wheeler on his comeback game stood out with 4 scalps. That's it from here. Goodbye!
