Medium-pacer Rohit Saini (3 for 36) and left-arm spinner Yogesh Kumar (3 for 31) helped Sporting win by 9 runs in a tall-scoring 40-overs-a-side match. After being put into bat, Sporting scored 242 for 9, thanks to Rahul Tyagi's 72 not out.

Needing 23 runs in the last two overs, Indo Asia managed all off 11 runs and were all out for 233 runs in 39.4 overs.
