After losing the toss Sylhet Strikers were put in to bat, opener Nazmul Hossain Shanto raising to the occasion as he smashed 10 Fours on his way to a half century.
In response, Victorians bowlers took the next two wickets for a run, before Mushfiqur Rahim added a huge half century of his own.
Other than that the bowlers took control of the innings, Ryan Burl the only other batsmen to reach double figures.
Thanks to Shanto and Rahim Sylhet Strikers headed in at 175, it now over to their bowlers.
It came down to the final over, an early Liton Das half century putting Victorians on track to chase this one down.
Rubel Hossain (2/39) fought back, taking some important wickets but it would prove not quite enough as Johnson Charles (79*) smashed a half century of his own to win this one by 7 wickets.
