Colombo, Nov. 15 -- First blood in cricket's newest rivalry went to AB de Villiers' mentored Sub-Saharan Africa as they beat Matthew Hayden's mentored Australasia by five wickets at SSC Stadium in Colombo on Saturday, in the first Test Twenty match ever played. Chasing a combined 350, de Villiers' side finished on 351 with five balls left in the 80-over contest.

The win was a shared one, exactly as the Parity Rule intends. Sub-Saharan Africa's Girls' XI earned a 16-run lead that was carried forward, which meant the Boys' XI were set 180 to win instead of 196. The boys then finished the job the girls had started, and neither XI could have taken their side over the line alone.
