Matthew Wade's powerful best and more Mitchell Owen fireworks have propelled Tasmania past Victoria in a One-Day Cup triumph that threatened the history books.

Tasmania were all out for 381 at Brisbane's Allan Border Field after No.6 Wade (105) brought up a century off 65 balls and opener Mitch Owen made 53 off 21 and Beau Webster 81 off 95.

The third-highest all-out score in the domestic competition's history - only 17 short of South Australia's benchmark 398 two years ago - proved too much for the Vics despite the late efforts of Sam Harper (88 off 51).

Form batter Owen hit four sixes and five fours to post his half century in the fifth over before collecting 4-57 with his handy seamers.

That included three wickets in one over, with Glenn Maxwell (0) the final scalp as he blazed away unsuccessfully two days after smashing a hundred of his own in a loss to Queensland.

Wicketkeeper Harper was the last man out in the 41st over in a chase that never looked likely after Owen's triple-strike.

Earlier, Wade leaned back on anything short of a length to pepper the square boundaries and post a 10th List A hundred.

He struck six sixes while Nikhil Chaudhary (67 off 49) provided the late fireworks as Mitch Perry (4-101) avoided conceding the most runs in a one-day cup innings by one run.

NSW host South Australia in Sydney on Saturday before the Bulls host Western Australia on Sunday.
