Castle Logan Cup day 1 played at Harare Sports Club: Overnight: Mashonaland Eagles 335 v Southern Rocks

Result: Mashonaland Eagles (178) lost to Southern Rocks (166/6) by 11 runs (Duckworth-Lewis).

This was a tight match on a rather uncooperative pitch where fine innings by Chamu Chibhabha and Tendai Chisoro proved the vital factor for Southern Rocks, who won by Duckworth-Lewis calculations in bad light at about ten minutes to six.
