    • Notes:
    • This Match has 1st Class status
    • Target was in 340 minutes
    • Clarke, who had stood in well as wicket-keeper for the injured de Caila in the previous match against Transvaal, was played as first-choice keeper this time, but the experiment was a disaster; the 56 byes he conceded and chances he missed in the match played a major part in Rhodesia's defeat.
    • The former Glamorgan professional Pressdee did much to inspire his team to a thrilling victory on the final day with eight balls to spare.
