Earlier, Dolphins overcame a top-order collapse to put up a fighting total of 164/7 on the board after winning the toss & choosing to bat.
March was awarded Man-of-the-Match for his innings of 40 off 26 balls.
Dolphins themselves hammered 67 runs in the last 6 overs of their innings.

"I have a young family, I've had a great run & for my last game at the WACA, my home ground, to be a win in a successful campaign is the stuff you dream of,". "I'll finish on a high and that was a big part of the reason I decided to pull up stumps." he said.
