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 McFadyen and had to retire hurt
Only 3 hours play was possible on the first day due to rain which completely washed out the second day causing the match to be abandoned
