Playing at the Edinburg ground, the match was reduced to 46 overs because of late start due to preparation moisture.
Rose Hall Town Pepsi won the toss and decided to take first strike and soon lost Devin Baldeo to Romario Shepherd-DeJonge. It was soon 31-2. However Dominique Rikhi and Delbert Hicks came together and they put on 69 for the third wicket before Rikhi was caught off Joemal LaFleur, bowling off spin for 46 at 100 for 3.
They declined to 143 for 6 with Hicks at the point going for 50 which included 5 fours. At that point, Bermine fancied their chances for a quick end to the Rose Hall innings but that was not to be as the No.8 batsman Ravi Narine hit an enterprising 36; Eon Hooper made 16 and Akshay Homraj 15 to guide them to 222 all out in 45.5 overs.
Bowling for Bermine off spinner Devon Clements took 3 for 46 from 10 overs, Shepherd-DeJonge 2 for 29 from 6.5 overs and LaFleur 2 for 42 from 9 overs.
When Bermine began their response, they lost LaFleur second ball with no run on the board.
Leon Williams and Jamally Odle added 33 for the second wicket before Williams was run out for 12. Anthony D’Andrade came in and he and Odle looked threatening to Rose Hall, the two putting on 74 for the 3rd wicket before Odle went for 44 at 107 for 3.
Clements went shortly after but D’Andrade and Shepherd-DeJonge added another 39 after which D’Andrade fell for a well played 62 (4×4 1×6) at 150 for 5.
Off spinner Hooper got into the act snapping up three quick wickets that saw Bermine swiftly declining to 171 all out in 41.1 overs. Bowling for Rose Hall, Hooper ended with 5 for 16 from 9.1 overs and Devin Baldeo 2 for 30 from 5 overs.
