Hardyal stroked 43 as his team rattled up 146-9, batting first before returning with the ball to take 4-33 to give his team a 23-run victory.
Jagdesh Bhoj and Amarnauth Boodhoo added 45 for the opening stand to give their team a bright start before Bhoj was taken off Ishwar Persaud for 21. Persaud then picked up a few more wickets before Hardyal steadied the innings with level-headed batting. He struck two fours and three sixes and got valuable support from Troy Kippins (15*) down the order. Persaud claimed 4-30 and Peter Persaud 3-27.
Arjune XI threatened briefly before they were bowled out for 123 in 19.4 overs. Arjune laid the foundation for the chase with an attacking 36 which contained three fours and two sixes. He shared in a first wicket stand of 30 with Lyndon Lyght who was dismissed for 18.
Following the demise of Lyght, Arjune XI suffered a mini collapse before Peter Persaud smashed 37 (3×4,2×6) down the order to give his team hope, but steady bowling by Hardyal backed up by Satro Seeraj (3-33) ensured their team earned a well deserved victory. Hardyal XI received a trophy.
