- MAN OF THE MATCH, Devon Conway!

- A clinical show then with the bat from the visitors and they have won three in a row in this tour. The openers set the tone, Conway was the key. He lost a couple of partners but found an able support in Mitchell. Both scored brilliant tons to take their side over the line.
