Sam Harper shines to put Victoria on top on 14-wicket day Victoria's batsmen produced a dominant display as they took control of the Sheffield Shield match against Tasmania, scoring 334 for seven wickets before bundling out their opponents for just 76. The Vics' bowlers then wrapped up the game with ease, claiming all 10 wickets in the second innings to secure an emphatic victory by an innings and 182 runs. Sam Harper was the star of Victoria's batting effort, scoring a career-best 104 to help his side build a massive total. The opener showed impressive application and power to compile his century, which came off just 144 balls and included 12 fours and two sixes. Victoria's top order laid a strong foundation before the middle-order batsmen cashed in on Tasmania's struggling attack. Travis Dean added 64, while Tim Ludeman chipped in with 44, as the Vics' total surpassed 300 for the first time this season. In response, Tasmania's batting unit imploded, with Victoria's bowlers exploiting the conditions to claim 14 wickets and take control of the match. Cameron Stevenson took four wickets, while Aaron Vandenberg and Tom Andrews picked up three each as Tasmania collapsed to a lowly total. Tasmania's second innings was equally disappointing, as they were skittled out for just 93 runs, with Harper claiming three wickets and Stevenson two more.#Sheffield_Shield #Sam_Harper #Victoria #Tom_Andrews #Travis_Dean #Tim_Ludeman #Cameron_Stevenson #Aaron_Vandenberg #Tasmania
