Cameron White again pushed his claims for national selection, scoring a fifth half-century in as many innings as Victoria set NSW a difficult target of 312 on Sunday in their one-day cup match in Sydney.

The Bushrangers made the most of North Sydney Oval’s small boundaries, striking a remarkable 14 sixes in their 8-311.

White blazed five sixes in reaching 50 before being caught on the boundary as his season tally reached 345 runs at an average of 86.

The powerful Victorian was particularly harsh on Nathan Lyon with his first six overs costing 43 runs, before the Australian offspinner eventually finished with 0-68 from nine overs.

Victorian wicketkeeper and captain Matthew Wade also continued his bright start to the season with an impressive 85 off 81 deliveries, before trying to clear the fence once too often and holing out in the deep.

David Hussey contributed a sparkling 71 off 52 balls as the run rate increased dramatically late in the innings.

Opening bowler Josh Hazlewood defied the onslaught to collect 4-57 from his 10 overs, while Sean Abbott claimed 3-61.
