In the first game, David Williams top scored with 42 from 28 balls with three fours and a similar number of sixes and along with Richie Looknauth with 17 from eight balls with two fours and two sixes put together 56 for the first wicket.

But only Neil Cadogan who smacked two sixes in a four-ball 13 and Skipper Akshaya Persaud who made 11 which included a six reached double figures as the Hawks could only reach 94-8 when their 10 overs expired.

Mavindra Dindyal finished unbeaten on 36 with three fours and three sixes while National Keeper, Kemol Savory, hit two fours and two sixes in 36 to lead their side to victory.

In the second game of the day, Quinton Sampson’s 50 from 17 balls with four fours and five sixes, Ryan Sergent’s 46 with two fours and six sixes and Tagenarine Chanderpaul, showing refreshing aggression, clobbering two sixes and two fours and two sixes in a cameo 23, led the Piranhas to 148-3 in 10 overs.

Bruce Vincent who dismissed both Chanderpaul and Sergent had 2-18.
Anacondas in reply were bowled out for 98 in 9.3 overs in the slug feast as Antony Adams made 28 from 12 balls with three fours and two sixes and only Raymond Perez of the other batters reached 20. His innings included a six and a four and lasted 14 balls.
