Match notes
Queensland were well on target for victory when rain interrupted play. The covers were locked away and there was no key available. When play resumed Queensland batted on a quite damp wicket that gave the bowlers plenty of assistance, leaving Queensland with little hope of achieving the required runs. The final wicket fell in the last over but one of the reduced overs of the innings.
