-Rafael Singh’s 13-87 not enough
26 and Joshua Wilson 14 not-out from 34 deliveries were the main contributors with the bat for TSC. GNIC, with a first innings lead of 44, extended their lead to 73 at lunch with the score 29 for one after losing first innings top scorer Stephon Campbell (2) to off-spinner Wilson. Opener Marc Nicholson (17) and Kurt Lovell (3) ensured that GNIC tightened their grip on the game by not allowing any further wickets to fall before the break.
The two pushed the score past 50 in the 28th over after the interval. Nicholson, however, fell for 35 from 94 balls which included two fours and a six when he pushed a full pitch delivery back to offspinner Singh to leave GNIC on 64 for 2. They lost two quick wickets when Ryan Shun (06) fell to Azeeze with the score on 77 in the 32nd over and Premchan Sookdeo (1) meeting his demise with the score on 80 for 4 in the 33 over to give Singh his second wicket.
Ranole Bourne and Lovell took the total past 100 before Singh struck again by bowling Lovell for a well-crafted 40 from 95 delivers. He struck three fours and a six. The score at this point was 103 for 5. It was the `Singh Show’ again when he dismissed Groovner (01) to get his 10th wicket of the match and he also removed Bourne (13) to get his fifth of the innings. He then dismissed Suknanan (6) to get his sixth wicket in a nearly unplayable spell of quality bowling. GNIC were eventually dismissed for 138 in 58.2 overs with Singh finishing with 7 - 58 from 20.2 overs to follow up is first innings 6 for 29 ending the match with 13 for 87 which earned him the Player of the Match award. Azeeze 2-25 complemented Singh’s efforts.
The two captains then decided to call off the match with GNIC having a lead of 182 runs and not enough time left in the game for TSC to chance their luck.
