Simon Beshara was the best-performed Ormond bowler with 2/46 from 25 overs.
This Saturday Sunshine will be aiming for another win against Elsternwick at Elsternwick Park Oval.
In other games, Altona won a highly entertaining tussle over Broadmeadows on the first innings, making 127 in reply to Broadmeadows’ 111.
Broadbent (42) was the best-performed batsman for Altona as the visitors grabbed victory before Broadmeadows batted for a second time.

In Broadmeadows’ second innings, William Partington-Gardner (28) and Wayne Wunmym (27 not out) made some valuable runs as the team reached 6/109, while Darren Ward took 4/20 for Altona.
An unbeaten 106 from Williamstown batsman Craig Sheedy was the catalyst in his side’s victory over the Kingston Saints at Walter Galt Reserve.
Williamstown was in cruise mode after passing home side’s total of 159, making 5/246.
Werribee, scoring 146 and 5/210, fell well short against Yarraville’s 4/278 at Chirnside Park.
Only David Buchanan (38) provided any resistance for the home side against a fired-up Yarraville bowling attack.
