Troy Corbin 27, captain Trevor Amadally 26 and Damian Fraser 24 were the leading scorers for Courts.
Seon Simpson, who was later named Man-of-the-Match, bagged 3 wickets for 6 runs while Devon October supported well with 2 for 20 bowling for Banks.

In reply, the home team hit off the required runs for the loss of five wickets thanks to solid middle order batting by Narendranauth Puran with 38, Captain Otis Grannum and Dillon Cox who was left unbeaten on 23.  Kester Williams was the pick of the Courts bowlers with 2 for 25.

Simpson for his 20 and picking up three wickets was named Man-of-the-Match.
The Banks DIH side had beaten Republic Bank in the first match of the Friday Evening Floodlight series at Thirst Park in their first match and will now turn their focus to Trans Guyana Aviation who they will play on Friday in another match of the series.
