The visitors elected to bat first but an excellent spell from Imran Khan (6-42) reduced them to 93-7. Sam Woodcock (40) provided some respectability but 159 all out was nowhere near enough.

James Stuart (53 not out) and Ross Diver (69) put on 114 for the first wicket and the hosts raced home by nine wickets in the 29th over.
