King's then bowled Wakatipu out for 113 with Jonty Davidson taking an impressive 6 for 23 off 8 overs, remarkable figures for a young leg spin bowler. In reply King's limped through to 116 with Alex again top scoring and showing excellent technique with 41 runs. This set Wakatipu the achievable target of 155.
