Winning the toss and batting first, Everest Masters posted a behemoth total of 245/2 in their allotted 25 overs. Like a one-man army, Saheed Mohamed smashed five boundaries and eight maximums in his innings of 101, before retiring hurt.
To add insult to injury, Hemraj Garbarran and Sahadeo Hardaiow blasted quick-fire scores of 47 and 45 runs respectively, while Guyanese cricketing legend Shivnarine Chanderpaul capped the innings with a quick-fire 45 that included 3 boundaries and 4 maximums. Krishna Singh and Safraz Baksh each took a wicket for Belle Vue.

Needing 246 for a win, or at least 10 runs per over, the Belle Vue side succumbed to pressure and were dismissed for a paltry 127 in 23 overs.
The only batsmen to make any significant contribution were Ajula Bowman with 31 (4×4 1×6), Davendra Narine with 26 (3×4) and Krishna Singh with 17.
Bowling for the Masters, Basil Persaud took 4 for 7 from 5 overs, Saheed Mohamed took 3 for 12 from 4 overs, and Rajesh Singh and Besham Singh each took a wicket.
