Scorecard summary
Asia XI 337/7(50 overs)
Africa XI 306/10(49.5 overs)

A solid batting effort swept Asia to 337 and bar two good fifties from Boeta Dippenaar and Mark Boucher the Africans couldnt get matters away. Dilhara Fernando picked up a career-best 4 for 36 to lead the bowling honours. So Asia have won the 2007 edition but do feel free to join us for our live coverage of the final game at this same venue tomorrow, Sunday, June 10. Sriram Veera will bring you the commentary.
