Earlier in a day blessed with glorious sunshine, Falcons were dismantled for 58 with left-arm spinner Brandon Henry top scoring with nine.

Pacer Patrice Frasier had 4-6 to bag his second four-wicket haul of the tournament while Mario Singh and Junia Dindyal supported with three wickets each.

On pitch two, 58 with 12 boundaries from Wicket-Keeper Nathan Bishop, an unbeaten 27 from Riyaz Latif and 22 from Sheaker Ramesh 22 helped Eagles to 150 all out in 40 overs.

Devindra Ramkarran had 2-22 for the Crows who fell for 82 despite 22 from the consistent 13-year-old Khush Seegobin.

The GCB Inter-County tournament is scheduled to commence next week.
