Another match, another loss for a Zimbabwean side as Provinces were put to the sword by Griqualand West in their SAA Provincial Cup one-day match in Kimberley. Provinces started well enough, with Taurai Muzarabani keeping the Griqua top-order in check and taking some key early wickets, but Adrian McLaren was allowed to cut loose mid-innings, contributing to a 66-run 6th wicket stand that helped the home side to their eventual total of 212/9.

In reply, Provinces simply went to pieces, with Regis Chakabva (24) and Terry Duffin (17*) the only players to make any sort of worthwhile contribution to an innings that was shortened by rain. Faced with an eventual target of 142 runs from 23 overs, Provinces fell far short, ending the match on 77/6 and notching up yet another disappointment in a poor weekend.
Griqualand West 212/9 (45/45 overs; McLaren 81, Muzarabani 3/25), Zimbabwe Provinces 77/6 (23/23 overs; Chakabva 24, Swanepoel 2/13). Griqualand West win by 64 runs (D/L method).
