Led by a powerful knock of 62 from Akeil Cooper and 32 from Keegan Jagessar T&TEC posted a mammoth 153 for 7 in 20 overs.

Jeewan Sookdeo was eventually out in the 10th Over bowled by Krishna Narine with the score on 52. Despite another fighting knock by the tournament’s MVP and second leading run scorer Ranga Latchana of 41, Super Kings found the going tough with the asking rate in the last five overs climbing to 12 runs per over.

At their turn at the crease Debe Youths found the going tough by the discipline bowling from the Tarouba unit. Opener Roger Thomas finished unbeaten on 44 but was not able to see his team home pass the Tarouba total. At the end of their 15 overs Debe Youths reached 105 for 4 Amir Mohammed chipped in with 28.
