Argentina's North v South match

The annual three-day match, the highlight of Argentine cricket which has been played for many years, was rained out on two consecutive weekends so the captains decided to play a 50-over friendly game.

The South won the toss and sent the North in. On a very tricky wicket the North struggled to close their 50 overs on 155 for 9 with Gary Savage a well-played 40 not out. The South passed their target for the loss of six wickets in the 34th over. A. Buurman (48) and C. Gibson (34) top scored.
