In match one, Youths of Nevis engaged Pioneers.

Meanwhile, in match two of the T-10 tournament, played on Sunday 14th March, Empire engaged SDA Jets.
Jets won the toss and sent the Empire team into bat first.
The early wicket of Adelvin Phillip, brilliantly caught by Curtis Morton Sr, off Melissa Clarke, sent early shock waves into the Empire camp and they struggled during the first six overs. However, Nelson Bolan came to the crease and totally changed the game, with a whirlwind cameo of 68 from just 22 balls, which included 4 fours and 6 sixes.
In response, Curtis Morton started with 13 off the first over and then the second ball up in the second over, tried to go over long-on and was caught. Elroy Kelly and Saneldo Willet played steady hands towards the end, but the Jets were never in the run chase.
Summarized scores:
Empire 129 for 3 in 10 overs: Nelson Bolan 68*; Jelani Manners 26; Andre Browne 21
