First Innings
It took a few good performances amid a sea of mediocrity and early exits to give South Australia a good start. Put into bat, the away team started decently, but a ninth wicket partnership of 143 propelled them into a solid position despite the condition of the pitch.

SA 331
JPF Travers 89; FT Hack 84; HSC Jarvis 59*
A Cotter 6-81

For once it was New South Wales who found it tougher on the tricky pitch and found themselves trailing going into the second innings. The bowling kept them honest, and a lot of good fielding, some spectacular, helping the South Australian cause.

SA 331
NSW 307
EF Waddy 80; MA Noble 79
JPF Travers 3-65; JC Reedman 3-79

Second Innings
Things really turned around here with only FT Hack scoring higher than 20 as New South Wales found their groove. For the second time this season A Cotter is one short of ten wickets in a match, while a second bowler made a fiver.

SA 331 + 151
NSW 307
FT Hack 43
GL Garnsey 5-47; A Cotter 3-48

The momentum was fully in favour of New South Wales and they were done in less than two sessions with only a pair of casualties.

SA 331 + 151
NSW 307 + 176-2
MA Noble 58*; A Diamond 52*
AW Wright 1-28

New South Wales win by eight wickets.
