Canterbury won New Zealand’s domestic cup competition, beating Otago convincingly in their final game by 81 runs and Hadlee took three wickets in the match – the fourth time in five cup games during the season that he captured at least three wickets in an innings, with a best return of 4 for 19 against Central Districts at Nelson.
