Notes
--> There was no play on the final day.

On the second day after 9 overs had been bowled in the Hutt Valley first innings rain forced the players from the field at 11.35am so an early lunch was taken
No further play was possible on the second day and heavy rain on the third morning meant the match had to be abandoned
