• Scorers: T Hume and TA Salter
• 12th Men: BW Neil (Tasmania) and PR Sleep (South Australia)
• The match was played in most unsatisfactory conditions, the players having to cope with rain and gale force winds. At one time it appeared the match would end after thirty-two overs with South Australia six for 117, the same score Tasmania had reached at that point. Had the match ended at that point the result would have been a tie.
