Heera Sukram then joined Sahadeo and took the score to 63 before Sahadeo (15) was bowled by pacer Bernard Lewis who also scattered the stumps of former Essequibo U-19 player Roopnarine Persaud (00) and Essequibo U-19 allrounder Seon Venture (00) to leave the score at 69-4.  Vickram Ramnarine (10) and Sukram added 14 for the fifth wicket before Ramnarine had his wood work disturbed by Lewis as Sans Souci slipped into further trouble at 83-5.

Good Success openers Arjune Persaud and Imran Khan then got their team off to a flyer adding 59 for the opening stand before Arjune (20) who pulled pacer Roopnarine Persaud for six over mid wicket then drove him through mid off for fours was caught off the same bowler who also accounted for Khan (19) as the host slipped to 60-2.  Persaud then had Komal Persaud (01) leg before while off spinner Gurnath Khemraj accounted for Nazeer Mohamed (01) and Chandreka Ragnauth (06) to leave at 70-5 in 12 overs.
Abdool Salim (04) soon followed after he was caught off medium pacer Derwin Daniels to make it 75-5.  Allrounder Wazir Khan and Bernard Lewis then featured in an unbeaten seventh wicket partnership of 76 as Good Success secured victory in 30.2 overs ending on 151-6.  Khan led with 29 (4×4) and Lewis made 25 (2×4) as Persaud took 3-20 off 7 overs and Khemraj 2-18 from 7.
