North West batted first and they posted a total of 263 for 9 in 50 overs. The start wasn't ideal as North West lost both it's openers early on. Wihan Lubbe and Raynard Van Tonder then revived the innings with their 3rd wicket stand of 53 runs. Lubbe scored 67 while Tonder made 54 runs. Senuran Muthusamy in the middle order also played well and scored 67 runs but he slowed down way too much in the death overs and North West had to settle for a total of 263 in the end.
