Winning the toss and batting first at Jubilee Park in Ringwood, the Breakers reached 4-166 from their 40 overs, thanks largely to half centuries from Mitchell Domann (53) and Rory Freeman (50).
Joshua Burns claimed 2-25 for Inner South East Scorpions, with Hannin Mundy (1-12) and Jesse Castan (1-30) also taking a wicket each.
The Scorpions couldn’t chase down the target, finishing on 7-132 from their allotted overs.
