Curtis the matchwinner after Kellaway's century stands alone

Victoria's defeat meant they finished bottom of the One-Day Cup table but their young opener again impressed

Western Australia 233 for 2 (Curtis 91, Bancroft 70*) beat Victoria 230 (Kellaway 105, Jackson 4-40) by eight wickets

A matchwinning knock from Joel Curtis overshadowed Campbell Kellaway's century as Western Australia claimed an eight-wicket victory over Victoria in the One-Day Cup.

After scoring 75 in his side's thrilling one-wicket win against Tasmania on February 10, Curtis continued his fine form to help WA finish their season on a high.RelatedLabuschagne's ton, Swepson's seven secures huge win

His 91 off 83 deliveries set up WA for a comfortable chase at the WACA on Saturday. But the 26-year-old was denied a second century in the competition as his extra-cover strike nestled into a diving Matt Short's hands with his side needing just 37 more to win.

Curtis had allies in Cameron Bancroft as they established a 134-run second-wicket partnership, and opener Sam Fanning, who had pushed the tempo early with a run-a-ball 31.

In a positive for the visitors, Kellaway fired a match-high 105 from 117 balls to save them after they were sent in to bat.  It took a full toss from seamer Matthew Kelly to dismiss the 23-year-old after his shot to long-on found the safe hands of Ashton Turner in the 49th over.

Opener Short was the next highest scorer for Victoria with 35 off 43 balls as the visitors struggled to build any serious momentum.

WA's Bryce Jackson continued his red-hot bowling form, grabbing 4 for 40 after collecting four wickets in his previous One-Day Cup outing against Tasmania.

Eighteen-year-old Will Malajczuk also snared 2 for 48, including the key scalp of Peter Handscomb for a duck.

Victoria finished their season at the bottom of the ladder after making the final last campaign, while Western Australia ended in fourth spot.
