Rest of Himachal posted an imposing total of 208 for 5 in the allotted 50 overs. Varinder played a strokeful knock of 66 while others around him chipped in with useful contributions. Opener Nischal Gaur scored 38 while Chetan had 30 runs to his credit. Towards the end, Rakeshwar gathered 22 quick runs.

For Una, Rahul Panta captured two wickets but the real bowling hero was the left-arm quick Parveen Sharma. He gave away just 22 runs in his ten hostile overs, but had only one wicket to show for his efforts.

Una lost two early wickets but Shambhu Sharma and Rajeev Nayyar stemmed the rot. Shambu was dismissed after scoring 35 but Rajeev was unruffled and was still there on 30 when bad light forced closure. The Himachal Pradesh Governor Rama Devi distributed the prizes. She was welcomed by Parveen Mahajan, Additional Commissioner, Customs and Excise, Delhi.
