LBI A v LBI B
LBI A won the toss and elected to bat. Irresponsible shots caused wickets to tumble as they eventually made 93 for the loss of 8 wickets. In the second over bowled by Carl Spenser, three wickets fell and this proved a bit too much for a huge score. Gary Khan (31) and Zaman Ally (14) were the main contributors. Spenser picked up three wickets for 17 runs and Puran Deokaran two wickets for 16 runs for LBI B.
Riaz Khan top-scored with 42
When LBI B took strike to take down the total, Captain Safraz Ally perished in the first over for one. It was Randy Narine, who was given a chance at long-off when he was on 19, who brought the game home, finishing it off in style with a six. He eventually finished on 64 not out along with Imran Khan 14 not out. LBI B made 94 for 3 in 8.4 overs.
Akram Bacchus was the pick of the bowlers with two wickets for 14 runs; Mohamed Alli had one wicket for 12 runs.
Diamond New Scheme Masjid failed to turn up as Hague Masjid and LBI B were awarded a walkover.
