Notes
--> The match was scheduled for one day but extended to two.

Overnight rain fell and the covers were unable to be put on the pitch due to the tractor having a flat tyre. The match was abandoned on the reserve day also when water seeped through the covers on the bowlers' run-ups after further overnight rain.
