AINLIM/NMSL who has dominated the tournament for the past five years will be looking to capture their sixth title in as many years but NMSS will be out to stop their reign this time round.

Saffie returned with the ball to bag four wickets for 3 runs including a hat-trick as Berbice were bundled out for 75 in reply. Mark Singh took 3 for 24 and Jeremy Amos 2 for 8 for the winners. In the other semi-final encounter NMSS scored a nine-wicket win over Geddes Grant ‘B’.
Batting first, Geddes Grant were bowled out for 89 off 14-2 overs and NMSS knocked off the required wins for the loss of one wicket with wicketkeeper-batsman Delbert Hudson top scoring with 33.
