The Draw

Once the innings is finished , Team D bats ,Team E fields, umpired by Teams A and B, then Team B bats , Team A fields and so on to conclusion of both matches (format above assumes that the toss is as shown) Timings given are for two matches to complete. 

This will be followed by Prize Giving of the Guy and Peter Partridge Cup to the winners.
