The Clarke Road players did not help themselves conceding 23 extras including 16 wides. At the Brian Lara Recreation Ground in Santa Cruz, Merry Boys defeated Alescon Comets by 81 runs. Batting first, Merry Boys posted 250 all out in 48.2 overs.

Former TT and West Indies batsman Lincoln Roberts, who scored 100 in the three-day tournament on Saturday, topscored with 59 off 57 deliveries, inclusive of four fours and three sixes.
