Notes
--> Fiji first innings: 50 in 30 minutes
--> NM Uluiviti (2) 100 in 44 minutes
--> TW Blake retired hurt in the Northland first innings having scored 2 (team score 2/0) - he returned when the score was 181/9

---

The start of the match was delayed by 30 minutes due to light drizzle
Rain interrupted play several times on the first day
Fiji had 165 minutes to score 270 to win and achieved the target with 20 minutes to spare but with just 1 wicket in hand
S Naqutu and NM Uluiviti added 81 for the sixth wicket in the Fiji second innings
Blake was struck above the right eye when he attempted to hook the fourth ball of the match and he was helped from the field to be treated by a doctor at the ground
BA Heibner was given the honour of captaining Fiji because this was his final match for Fiji
