Chasing 62 for victory, Covent Garden openers Orwin Jordan (23) and Vinish Lalpoo (36) made light work of the target, guiding their team to a dominant win. Lalpoo was later named MVP for his match-winning knock. With the ball, Jordan also contributed by taking 2-23, while Brandon Bryan supported well with figures of 2-29.
