Shem Browne, with an even 100, navigated Bequia XI to 180 for 6 from their 20 overs. Browne’s knock contained 14 fours and 3 sixes.  Olanzo Billingy contributed 42.

Bowling for Victors Two, Kishore Shallow scalped 3 for 39 and Shamick Roberts had 2 for 18.

Victors Two’s reply ended at 107 for 4 from 14 overs, as rain affected the match.
