New South Wales were the defending champions.[3] They were eliminated from the tournament after losing their final group fixture to Victoria, when the match was abandoned due to an unsafe pitch.[4] The win gave Victoria a bonus-point victory, knocking New South Wales out of the competition.[4] However, Cricket Australia were conducting a "thorough investigation" into the outcome of the match.[5]
Western Australia finished top of the group stage, progressing directly to the final.[6] South Australia and Victoria finished second and third respectively, progressing to the elimination final.[7] South Australia won the elimination match by 176 runs.[8] In the final, Western Australia beat South Australia by 6 wickets.[9]
