New Lynn won the toss and captain Michael Barry, a first-class cricketer, chose to shine the ball but must have regretted his decision after NTOB batsmen made up for a poor performance from the previous game with a don't-argue 370-9.
New Zealand Under-19 rep Christian Leopard again top scored with 89 runs but, more importantly, NTOB's top order fired with George Diack (51 runs), Matt Edmondson (51) and Indika Senarathne (47) laying down the platform for 30 team boundaries and 20 sixes.
Opening batsman Senarathne, who got his score from just 20 balls, said he would have easily got a memorable century had a fielder not caught him on the boundary.
"I think I hit that ball too well," said the 30-year-old Sri Lankan import.
Player Craig Findlay said they hadn't done everything perfectly because the middle order hadn't fired "but we bowled the house down".
That saw NTOB open with Senarathne's straight off-spin deliveries that yielded two ducks from the New Lynn opening batsmen in the space of 11 balls between them.
"[Captain] Stevie [Smidt] was not doing much at the other end so I came with my cutters on a slow, turning wicket," said Andersen, who claimed 5-42 while Senarathne took 3-38 in the opposition's reply of 174 all out.
"It's pretty cool, I'm stoked that we can now build a platform on that for other games," said the 24-year-old Hustler Equipment engineer in Hastings who can swing the ball with his right-arm, fast-medium deliveries.
The premier club MVP this year, Andersen put his prowess down to "the awesome experience" of playing for Dandenong, Melbourne, last winter before his Hawke Cup feats.
Findlay said Leopard was turning heads at the tourney.
"His name is on the lips of everybody here."
