In the match which played at Port Mourant, Tucber Park won the toss and took first strike. They soon lost their former Berbice Under-19 batsman Martin Singh for 6 at 15 for 1. However, with another former Berbice Under-19 batsman Hakeem Hinds scoring 45, Guyana Under-17 batsman Steve Deonarine 76 (3 fours) and United States Under-19 allrounder Chetram Persaud 71 (3 fours), Tucber Park were able to post a seemingly, at the time, winning total of 251 all out off exactly 50-Overs.
Bowling for Port Mourant, former Guyana Under-17 offspinner Arif Chan took 6 for 39 from 9-Overs.
When Port Mourant began their response, they were given a start of 30 by Berbice Under-19 batsman Samuel Jistasammy and Dharmesh Seenarine before the former fell for 27. They soon slipped to 77 for 4 and looking in bad shape. However, Daniel Samaroo was joined by Berbice Under-19 player Demetri Cameron and they put Port Mourant on the road to recovery by putting on 42 between then before Samaroo fell for 41.
Cameron continued after that to clobber the bowling and he and Manoj Lokhnauth put on another valuable 66 for the sixth wicket after which Cameron went for 66 (3 fours) at 185 for 6, with Port Mourant still needing another 67 with 4 wickets left. It was soon 193 for 7 with Tucber Park feeling optimistic but Lokhnauth stood firm and he and Vivek Jagjit added another 37 before he fell for 50 (1 four) at 239 for 8.
Jagjit and Eshan Seecharraan then defied all that Tucber could throw at them and saw Port Mourant home at 252 for 8 in 49.1 Overs with Jagjit on 17 N.O and Seecharran 2 N.O.
Bowling for Tucber Park, Berbice Under-19 left arm spinner Joel Seitaram took 2 for 23 from 10-Overs and Chetram Persaud 2 for 51 from 10-Overs.
