After the match was reduced to 23 overs, Everest, who won the toss, bowled out GCC for 71 in 21.3 overs. National youth spinner Amir Khan cleaned up with 4-12 (5) while  Alex Romalho and Raphael Singh were the main scorers with 19 and 14 respectively.

Khan was supported by Dayanand Roopnarine (3-7) and Christopher Surat (2-17) who also had miserly figures from their 3.3 and five overs respectively.

In reply Everest openers Mohan Ramdeen (11) and Ryan Rajmangal (19) were the highest scorers as Singh returned with the ball to strike 3-11. Everest lost six wickets as they reached 72-6 in 19 overs. Ramdeen, however, was run out attempting a suicidal run after he stroked a ball to midwicket.

The matches that were rained out were GYO versus Transport at Demerara Cricket Club ground,
