Resuming on 62-2 needing 140 to win, East Bank reached 145-6 to win on the rough but lightning fast outfield as Wicketkeeper Corwin Austin lofted Gudakesh Motie for six with two to win to formalise their four-wicket win an hour before Lunch.
Darshan Persaud top scored with 28, while left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie had 3-42 to follow up his five-wicket haul in the first innings to move to 47 wickets in the tournament after five rounds.
Sachin Singh and Darshan Persaud added 23 on a good track before Singh who added five to his overnight 18 before Motie induced the left-handed Singh to edge to slip at 72-3.
It was soon 89-4 when Sherfane Rutherford, who clobbered a four and two sixes in a cameo 16 from just eight balls was removed before Steven Jacobs took the score 120 before Jacobs, one of the players who will miss the next round due to National duties in Antigua, was LBW to Seon Glasgow for 17 with a four and a six.
Persaud, who faced 94 balls and hit four boundaries, was removed by off-spinner Adrian Dutchin at 130-6 before Austin finished the game in style to end unbeaten on 15. (Sean Devers)
