Playing at home, Everest did well to recover from a few early losses to eventually post 170 for 5 from 30 overs, led by Vinesh Kalpu who finished the game unbeaten on 51 off 36 balls (2×4 3×6).

Opener Arun Mangal (29) hit one four in a watchful innings while Captain Nityanand Mathura (31) and Chris Persaud (28), played good hands alongside Kalpu.

NCYC spinner Jaffar Samad (2-41) was the pick of the bowlers, who toiled before he returned to lead with a solid 64 off 68 (7×4) alongside teammate Moksh Patel (43) who punched four fours and a six during their century stand.

Left-arm spinners Arun Gainda picked up 3-11 and Nathaniel Sukhnandan (1-9) tied the batting down as captain, Dhanesh Persaud (1-10) and Balashankar Narine (1-11) kept the pressure mounting.

Man-of-the-match and opener Shiloh Adams cracked 4 fours in his 27-ball 28, while his partner in national youth all-rounder Shahid Ramzan chipped in with 14 not out, missing a half-century stand by 3 runs.

A spirited spell from Bhumesh Ramkissoon (1-6) saw him end as the lone wicket-taker for NCYC.
