Comets were bun­dled out for a pal­try 77 runs, as na­tion­al left-arm spin­ner Akeal Ho­sein took 6/35. Daron Cruick­shank bagged 3/17, while Vishal Singh (45) was the on­ly bats­man to show re­silience. Singh was the lone bats­man to get in­to dou­ble fig­ures.

Je­re­my Solozano, who rep­re­sent­ed the West In­dies U-19 team ear­li­er this year, end­ed the day on 123 not out lead­ing the Parkites to 253/2. Solozano's knock came off 216 balls, which in­clud­ed 15 fours and one six. Af­ter los­ing cap­tain Justin Guillen for 23, Solozano and Dar­ren Bra­vo shared in a 194-run stand be­fore the lat­ter fell for 84 with the score on 234. Bra­vo struck five fours and five six­es in his knock.De­fend­ing cham­pi­ons Pow­er­gen are al­so in a po­si­tion to grab an out­right win.
