Notes
--> Each first innings was limited to 80 overs
PA Horne and AJ Hunt added 72 for the seventh wicket in the Auckland Under-23s first innings
PJ Kelly and SN Guptill added 53 (undefeated) in 36 minutes for the tenth wicket in the Auckland Under-23s first innings
Overnight rain delayed the start of play by over 2 hours on the second day
Canterbury Under-23s were given 2 hours, including a minimum of 20 overs in the second hour, to score 174 for the outright win
VR Brown and RI Leggat added 100 in 54 minutes for the fourth wicket in the Canterbury Under-23s second innings
There was some confusion with the scores at the end of the match with the final over being completed with a wicket off the last ball making it appear that the game had ended in a draw
Canterbury Under-23s had actually reached the target with 2 balls to spare in the final over
