Sonny Monyamane then came to the wicket with purpose and strength and managed to hit the boundary on many occasions. But Kev Allsobrook managed to turn the ball 45 degrees and bowled him through the gate for a quick 41.

Mark Taylor grabbed the catch of the match with an excellent take down the leg side off Rohit Chauhan mixups and then the wickets started to fall on a regular basis and with the game came to an end with the home side winning by 58 runs.

Grant Humphries grabbed 23 towards the end as only three players managed double figures. Best of the bowling Allsobrook 3 for 26, Hutton 3 for 36, Chauhan 2 for 10
