Notes
--> There was no play on the final day.
--> E Loganimoce retired hurt in the Fiji first innings having scored 0 (team score 0/0)
Loganimoce was struck in the mouth by the second ball of the innings bowled by MacFadyen and had to retire hurt
Rain limited play on the first day to just over 3 hours
Rain from 3am on the second day meant there was no chance of any further play causing the match to be abandoned
