South Australia's new target was therefore 214 to win (in 36 overs), or 213 to tie. In the event, they were all out for 174, so New South Wales won by 213 &minus; 174 = 39 runs.

As South Australia's innings was interrupted once and restarted once, their resource is given by the general formula above as follows: Total resources available = 100% &minus; Resources remaining at 1st interruption + Resources remaining at 1st restart = 100% &minus; 68.6% + 46.7% = 78.1%.
