Requiring 204 to win, their position seemed hopeless against such formidable opponents when they were reduced to 80 for 6. However, first Jeremy Coney and Warren Lees (25) added 54 for the seventh wicket before Hadlee joined Coney in a match-winning stand. In only 27 minutes these two put on 60 for the eighth wicket, Hadlee, with six fours, making 41 of them before falling to Holding, while Coney (53*) went on to make the winning hit.
