Sarfraz Esau (47) and Anthony King (20) chipped in before Adams got rid of Gittens to finish with 2-40.
Sattuar (2-65) and Travis Mohamed (2-63) were also among the wickets in expensive spells for Everest who were restricted to 149-9 after recovering from 14-4 with Gittens and Timour Ayume removing the first four batsmen.
Richie Looknauth, who hit eight fours in 60 and Matthew Nandu with 38, revived the position, while Dinesh Mangal (22) also offered fight towards the end in a losing cause.
Gittens, Travis Mohamed, King and Parmanand Pasram picked up two wickets for MYO.
At DCC, in a game reduced to 30 overs, Sophia led by an attractive 43 from Dwayne Peters, who slammed five fours and five sixes lifted Sophia from a precarious position of 3-9 before they were dismissed for reach 114 in 17.4 overs. TSC replied with 115-1 in 6. 2 overs.
After 21-year-old pacer Akeem Redman captured three wickets in four balls, the on-fire Peters dominated a 51 partnership with Miguel Vaughn (6) before Vaughn was taken at mid-off as the expensive Redman stuck again at 60-4.
Peters hit Redman for two sixes and flicked him for four before stroking the lively Duncan Charles for another boundary before he was LBW to Keon Morris.

Azeez joined the left-handed Adrian Hinds, twice caught off ‘Free Hits’ to take TSC to an emphatic nine-wicket with 23.4 overs to spare.
