Playoffs

New Zealand Cricket uses the Page playoff system for its one-day competition.

Round One

Major Semi Final

Auckland were in cruise control needing 269 to win after being 119/1 in the 17th over. However, after both Lou Vincent and Jeet Raval fell, good bowling by Canterbury and a batting collapse by Auckland propelled Canterbury directly into the final.

Minor Semi Final

Through several handy innings Northern Districts posted a good 271/8. Otago started their chase poorly falling to 80/5 in the 19th over. However, Darren Broom and Derek de Boorder put on 165 runs for the 6th wicket a partnership record for Otago [1]. This partnership meant that when the game was finally called off for rain after 46 overs, Otago was ahead of their target by nine runs. Northern were eliminated and Otago went into the elimination semi final.
