But there was a mid-innings slump, thanks to good bowling from left-arm spinner Ray Price.

Price ended his 4 over spell with 2 wickets for just 9 runs, during which the innings had stumbled to 77 for 5 wickets. Chamara Kapugedera (18 not out) and Farveez Maharoof (13 not out) took control to complete a 5 wicket win with one over to spare. The match was reduced to 17 overs per side due to a damp outfield, due to overnight dew.
