Leg spinner Amir Khan then picked up two quick wickets before Moriah sent back the inform Somdat Bharat for 45 as the visitors found themselves in trouble at 85-7. Lusignan lower
order threatened before they were sent packing for 127. Moriah claimed 3-54 from 10 overs, while Khan, Chandraban Seemangal and Christopher Surat had two each.
Enmore CC received a trophy and $200,000, Lusignan took home a trophy and $100,000 and Moriah was given the man of the match award.
