    • Notes:

    • This was Pithey's last first-class match.
    • It was also, unexpectedly, Bland's last match for Rhodesia, as he emigrated to South Africa before the start of the following season.
    • DP Cameron, who attended Cape Town University and stayed in the Cape after finishing his course, made his first-class debut.
    • Twelfth man for Rhodesia was JG Heron.
