Notes
--> The match was reduced before play started to 30 overs per side

With the decision taken to abandon the three day match the captains inspected the wicket and decided the strip was to wet for this match. A new wicket was hurriedly prepared but with the start delayed it was decided the match would be of thirty overs.
