In semi-darkness and by calling men to sacrifice personal considerations for the benefit of their side, the match was won just on time for the HK.C.C. by 4 wickets. A pune tual start at 11o clock does not give more than 5 hours for cricket, and if the out side has to go in against 150 rans, there is only just time to more the necessary number of runs, even though a forcing game is played right through an eleven.
