The hosts were joined by Australia and Pakistan for the Round-robin tournament where each team played one another twice.

The tournament acted as good preparation for the teams as the continent would be hosting the World Cup half a dozen months later.

After topping the group, the unbeaten Australians took on Pakistan in the final.

The Pakistanis batted first and posted 227 but with Australia at 1 for 67 in their chase the rain intervened and the game was declared a 'no result'.

The tournament was thus shared between Australia and Pakistan.
