Ambris' opening partner Kadir Nedd also made merry of poor bowling from the Hikers. On the other hand, a quickfire 47 by Dillon Douglas ignited a late surge by the chasing team, which eventually ended up at 107/5. 

- DIVERS CLAIM FIRST WIN OF THE TOURNAMENT -

Earlier in the day, Asif Hooper's unbeaten knock of 59 off 36 balls propelled the Grenadines Divers to a 22-run win over the Fort Charlotte Strikers. During the victory, which was the Divers' first of the competition, the team registered a total of 114/3.

The Strikers now have three losses in as many games. Alex Samuel complemented Hooper with a 27 during a second-wicket stand of 52. The first innings also included a whopping 19 extras.

In reply, the Strikers' batsmen, with the exception of opener Gidron Pope, struggled to make an impact. Pope's half-century could only take his side to a total of 92/6 at the end of the match. Razie Browne was the pick of the bowlers for the Divers, ending with figures of three wickets for seven runs in his quota of two overs.
