WG Grace held his own despite the wicket being a difficult one to bat on and wen on to make scores of 126 & 64 in the match. Arjuna Ranatunga's second innings effort went in vain as his team lost by a 105-run margin to the Barracudas.

An evenly fought battle between the ICC Wisden XI and the Alliance ended in a draw as the batsmen were just too good for the bowlers to handle.

Arthur Morris scored a marathon 314-ball 193 in the first innings which propelled the Alliance to a first innings total over 500 and a slender lead over the ICC Wisden XI. He ended the match on a good note scoring a quickfire 47 as his team were set to chase an improbable 368 in just 39 overs.
