The Wellington opener, Tim Robinson, was declared player of the match for his 139 runs from 64 games. In the end, Wellington registered a win by a margin of 74 runs.

The massive total raised by the Wellington outfit was possible mainly due to the efforts of Tim Robinson, who hit 139 runs from just 64 balls with as many as ten sixes and ten fours.
