Needing to win this match by at least an 18.4-point margin in order to avoid relegation, Cape Town's chances off pulling this off were always more theoretical than realistic. Nevertheless, considering the importance of the task at hand, they were woefully outplayed on the first day - to the extent that their relegation to the 1B was already a fait accompli by the Tea interval, a depressing truth that made whatever happened in the remaining two-thirds of the match thereafter completely irrelevant.

Having gone unbeaten throughout the first four months of the season, Cape Town crashed to an emphatic eight-wicket defeat at the hands of a rampant United batting line-up - led by Munier Holmes with 160 unbeaten runs in the match. To add further insult to injury, the Plumstead-based side were also docked two points for a slow over-rate, meaning that they walked away from the game with a paltry 1.9 bonus points - thereby putting themselves very much within range of the looming relegation monster's fearsome clutches come the end of the season.

With the batsmen dominating much of this match, the bowlers were primarily reduced to keeping them in check through defensive rather than offensive strategies. Unfortunately for Cape Town, however, the Western Province Cricket Club bowlers were more successful in this regard than their own were on the second day, obliging the home side to close up shop and settle for their sixth successive draw once their target had irretrievably slipped beyond reach.
