- Play stopped on the 3rd day at 1.54 pm as there were no balls
of the make authorised by the Board available to commence the
Southern Province 2nd innings, two having gone out of shape
in the 1st innings. On the 4th day the appropriate balls were
available and Western Province City took the field but
Southern Province did not appear. Southern Province objected,
seeking a replay of the game because the loss of time on the
3rd day prevented any chance of their winning (there had also
been a delay of 35 minutes when the umpires had to consult
the Laws of Cricket following an incorrect decision to rule a
batsman out hit wicket off a no-ball). The Tournament
Committee told Western Province City to replay the game on
April 1, 2, 3, 4, the dates originally set for the Final at
Matara, and postponed the Final until April 22, 23, 24, 25.
Western Province City strongly appealed to the Executive
Committee, and the Tournament Committee then ruled the game
as abandoned with no points to either side. Finally, the
Executive Committee ruled that as the Tournament Committee
had decided to continue the match on the 4th day and Southern
Province had refused to play, the match should be awarded on
first innings to Western Province City
