The international player MG Bristowe top scored opening both Ontarian innings with 35 and 47 not out, in total scores of 106 and 90 respectively. BTA Bell hit 10 and 11. Only one other double figure score was made.
Although they were comprehensively outplayed, at least the Canadians competed on level terms. Perhaps a combined Ontario team could have done better.
