Chasing 178 to win from 27 overs in the rain-reduced match, Tasmania were 3-114 when the weather brought an early end to the match with the Tigers just one run short of their target under the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern Method. With dark clouds hovering and rain appearing imminent, Tasmanian duo Alex Doolan and Jake Doran faced up to Bulls quick Luke Feldman knowing they needed eight runs from the 20th over to be ahead on the DLS Method. But having managed just three singles from the opening three balls of the over, the rain started to tumble and the players were forced from the field, where both teams learnt that the Bulls were a single run in front. “It was just one of those heartbreaking losses,” said Tigers coach Dan Marsh. “(The required score) is hard for the batsman to follow ball-by-ball out there. We were running out messages every over. They knew where we were at. “They knew they needed eight off that over to be in front, so that’s what we tried to do. “I thought we played some really good cricket so to be on the losing side is pretty hard to take.” The tight result comes after the match between [URL="http://www.cricket.com.au/news/match-report/western-australia-south-australia-matador-cup-match-report-waca-voges-bancroft/2016-10-02"]Western Australia and South Australia on Sunday ended in a tie[/URL]. Michael Neser’s medium-pacers did much to halt Tasmania’s momentum with the allrounder returning figures of 2-29 from six overs. The Bulls batted first and posted 5-158 from 35.5 overs before rain halted their innings, with Marnus Labuschagne top-scoring with 51 and former Bulls spinner Cameron Boyce, on debut for Tasmania, taking 2-22. Dumped Test batsman Joe Burns made 31 from 55 balls batting at No.3, while opener Matt Renshaw posted 38 before retiring hurt with a right knee injury. [I] [/I] [I][/I] [I][/I] [/QUOTE]
