Keegan Wright winds up to smash another boundary for Tingoora Vikings on Saturday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

March 1, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tingoora Vikings are through to the Grand Final of the South Burnett senior cricket competition after an emphatic victory over Murgon Diggers on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Vikings, playing on their home ground, won the toss and elected to bat.<\/p>\n

Opener Jye Hartwig was lethal with bat, hitting 29 boundaries (22 fours, 7 sixes) along his way to 149.<\/p>\n

Keegan Wright (52) also smashed seven boundaries.<\/p>\n

Levi Steinhardt (2\/58) and Charlie Sippel (2\/66) finished with the best bowling figures for Diggers.<\/p>\n

Vikings were 8\/297 at the end of their 40 overs, setting a massive target for Murgon to overhaul.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Will Webber tried hard, hitting 72 runs off 67 balls but it wasn’t enough for Diggers, who were all out for 182 in 31 overs.<\/p>\n

Joshua Unverzagt (4\/31) and Keegan Wright (2\/23 off three overs) did the damage for Tingoora.<\/p>\n

Vikings defeated Diggers by 115 runs, but Murgon are still alive in the competition.<\/p>\n

They will take on Wooroolin Warriors on Saturday at Murgon Sportsground to decide the second Grand Final spot.<\/p>\n

The second South Burnett senior cricket competition game played on Sunday was the sudden-death semi-final between Wooroolin Warriors and Kingaroy Services Blue at Wondai Cricket Ground.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blues won the toss and elected to bat but were all out for 159 in the 38th over.<\/p>\n

James Maxwell (46) and Timothy Blanch (31) were the top-scorers.<\/p>\n

Chanse Olm (3\/38 off eight) and James Searle (3\/18 off four) were the pick of the Wooroolin bowlers.<\/p>\n

In reply, Warriors started slowly, losing the first three batters cheaply before Olm steadied the ship, hitting a top score of 54.<\/p>\n

Olm carried his bat while wickets fell around him.<\/p>\n

Next best was John-Paul Schultz with 32 runs.<\/p>\n

Lachlan Watson (4\/35) and Clinton Blanch (1\/11)\u00a0 were the best of the Kingaroy bowlers.<\/p>\n

Despite chalking up three ducks, Wooroolin overtook the Kingaroy target in the 39th over, finishing 8\/160.<\/p>\n

The two-wicket victory ended Blue’s season.<\/p>\n

Wooroolin will now face Murgon this Saturday.<\/p>\n
