Having Brigadier-General Guggisberg standing firm in their ranks helped the Canadians win against the more fancied Mixed Team. This was Canada's first ever victory in a cricket match at the Olympic Games.

France competed unbelievably well after the most disastrous of starts to the tournament. If it wasn't for Bernard Bosanquet's reckless heave, they may have actually pulled through in the end.

CANADA               147       44.5 overs
FRANCE               142       43.5 overs
  
Canada won by 5 runs
 
Man of the match: Gordon Guggisberg (Canada)

The New Zealand skipper Len Cuff lead from the front with a scintillating 64 off just 76 balls. It was after his dismissal that New Zealand fell like a pack of cards.

This was probably the worst pitch to ever be used for an international cricket match till date. Despite Paris' pitches not being of very lofty standards, both the teams were caught off guard and Argentina's surprisingly potent bowlers nearly managed to upstage the mighty Australians.

ARGENTINA            87        32.1 overs
AUSTRALIA            88/8      22.0 overs
  
Australia won by 2 wickets (with 168 balls remaining)
 
Man of the match: Monty Noble (Australia)

Points

Australia - 2
