Early in the day it looked as though the Combine's attacking style line-up proved to be too strong once more for the visiting team, but a bit of class through Michael Harricks proved to be just what his team needed.

Combine dominated the first day of play, securing victory by 109 runs and went into the game with the confidence of being able to get the job done.

Batting first, the favourites found themselves in a similar position to day one and sat at 3-48 off 21 overs.

A big push from Matt Heffer and Jamie Bach got the team to a handy score of 5-119 for their innings.

Harricks was the pick of the bowlers, 2-10 off eight, including six maiden overs.

Buangor-Tatyoon's skipper Jarrod Blanford looked to have his eye in early before being dismissed from a catch behind by Ricky Peters.
