Shanghai led by 23 runs on the first innings, and in their second knock Hong Kong had lost seven wickets for 53 runs, when A. H. Madar and G. C. Burnett palled the game out of the fire by a partnership of 79 runs for the eighth wicket." Madar made 59, the biggest score of the match, while Burnett scored 29, In their second innings, Shanghai could do little against the attack of Minu, who captured six wickets for 49 runs.
