* Match tied after 45 Mins at 9-9, so countback was employed as a tie-breaker. After the end of the previous innings the score was still tied at 7-7. there was nothing in the rules for this eventuality so it was decided by the Umpire to coutback until there was a winner, which was Lust, 7-3 after the second innings.[2]
