After a long 4-hour delay, the fortune finally turned up for the match at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart. But defying the odds, New South Wales won the final game by 4 wickets via the DLS method. It was just a matter of a few minutes, or else Tasmania would have been awarded as the winners for finishing at the top of the table. At the last moment, the skies cleared up, and the final match of the Marsh One Day Cup was reduced to just 22 overs per side. The rain brought some spiciness to the wicket despite it being covered throughout. The NSW pacers were wreaking havoc on the batting lineup of Tasmania; they had reduced the hosts to just 25 for 5 at one moment. A late innings from the all-rounder Nikhil Chaudhary took the team to a modest total of 118 runs, and they were bowled out. While Chaudhary smashed 31 runs, Tim Ward also played a good cameo with the bat, scoring 26 runs. Ben Dwarshuis and Sean Abbott were the ideal bowlers for the surface, finding the right edge, taking three wickets each.

During the second innings, the pitch still had some movement left for the Tasmania bowlers. In reply, NSW were 20 for 2 at one stage, losing Josh Phillipe and Sam Konstas. The wickets kept falling from the other end, but the skipper Kurtis Patterson was leading from the front, playing cautiously and keeping the scoreboard going. At one point, NSW were 73/5 and were almost on the verge of collapsing. But Patterson kept showing his fighting spirit, played out a brilliant unbeaten 52 runs, and sealed a win. Joe Davies made a late cameo with the bat, smashing 20 off just 10 balls to provide some relief from the pressure. New South Wales would have lost the game if this had resulted in a washout. This was one of close contests between the top two best teams in the tournament. This also marked their 13th Australian One Day Cup trophy in their cabinet.
