All the wickets of both the teams were lost in this match and both the teams scored the same number of runs in two innings. For the first time, many did not even realize what the result of this match really was. Australia's Ian McKeefe was playing and he was running to win the match when Joy Solomon ran him out and the match ended in a tie.
