KINGSTOWN, St Vin­cent – Wind­ward Is­lands bats­man, Dil­lon Dou­glas, struck an 18-ball half-cen­tu­ry to fire La Soufriere Hik­ers in­to the fi­nal of the in­au­gur­al T10 Vin­cy Pre­mier League on Sat­ur­day.

Sunil Am­bris man­aged just one for Break­ers.

The 21-year-old, who played a sin­gle game for Vol­ca­noes last No­vem­ber dur­ing the Su­per50 Cup in Trinidad, smashed two fours and sev­en six­es in an un­beat­en 58 as Hik­ers, sent in at Arnos Vale, tal­lied 150 for two from their al­lot­ted 10 overs in the sec­ond se­mi-fi­nal.

Open­er Sal­van Browne, who played the last of his two first class match­es for Wind­wards 11 years ago, top-scored with an as­ton­ish­ing 70 from 28 de­liv­er­ies.

He count­ed eight fours and four six­es, post­ing 65 for the first wick­et with Dean Browne (13) and a fur­ther 79 for the sec­ond wick­et with Dou­glas.

In re­ply, Je­re­my Hay­wood picked up four for 15 to re­strict Botan­i­cal Gar­dens Rangers to 117 for sev­en, earn­ing Hik­ers a 33-run vic­to­ry.

Ken­neth Dem­ber struck 33 and Hy­ron Shal­low, 26, the pair post­ing ex­act­ly 50 for the first wick­et off 24 de­liv­er­ies. How­ev­er, once they were sep­a­rat­ed, the in­nings slipped in­to de­cline.

In the open­ing se­mi-fi­nal, Test play­er Sunil Am­bris failed with one but his Salt Pond Break­ers over­came that dis­ap­point­ment to beat Grena­dine Divers by five wick­ets.

Am­bris has been a stand­out per­former in the tour­na­ment with 259 runs at an av­er­age of 43, while pick­ing up nine wick­ets with his un­prac­ticed off-spin.

Break­ers and Hik­ers clash in the fi­nal on Sun­day at Arnos Vale.
