The match was reduced to 30 overs do to early morning showers and Fairfield skipper Richard Chatura inserted Enmore, however, his decision backfired as the home side rattled up an imposing 177-5, a total built on solid contributions from the top and middle order.
Sheik Mohamed anchored the innings with a superb 54 not out that included five sweetly timed boundaries.
The left-hander, who batted at number three, received solid support from Amir Khan who chipped in with 34( 2×4) and skipper Bheemraj Ramkellawan 31 (1×4, 1×6).
Chatura was the pick of the bowlers with 2-24 from six overs for Fairfield, whose batsmen struggled to put up a fight during the run-chase, being dismissed for a paltry 94 from 28.1 overs.
Off spinner Dyal grabbed 4-19 from six testing overs.
Nandram Ganesh claimed 2-8 from 2.1overs while sixteen-year-old left-arm seamer Gavin Moriah picked up 2-21 from six overs. Chatura top scored with 18, while Mohan Bissoon made 17 for Fairfield.
At the presentation ceremony which followed, Enmore collected the winner’s trophy and $30,000 cash, while Fairfield received a trophy and $20,000.
Mohamed was adjudged Man-of-the-Match and best batsman of the final, while Dyal copped the best bowler prize.
