Winning the toss and batting, Numurkah posted a gettable 6-165, with Riley Dawson the main stumbling block for the Kyabram bowlers with a half-century.
English import and left-arm spinner Louis Saabagh-Holt, with 3-33 off nine overs, was the only multiple wicket-taker for Kyabram, while pacemen Jackson and Charlie McLay and Angus McKenzie were the most economical.
Apart from opener Paul Parsons, Kyabram’s top order batsmen floundered badly, at one stage crashing to 6-62 with main batting hopes Kyle and Cade Mueller and Bill and Charlie McLay failing.
