Scorecard

Rain and bad light had the players on and off the field, but enough play was possible for Easterns to beat Gauteng by 228 runs. In so doing, they secured the 2003-04 SuperSport Series Shield by a whopping margin of 27 points. Gauteng resisted through Blake Snijman, who scored his maiden first-class fifty, and Douglas Gain, who finished undefeated on 68, and with some help from the inclement weather, they nearly put a damper on the Easterns party. But Morne Morkel picked up 3 for 67 to make sure that they came out on top.
