The visitors never recovered despite an unbeaten 42 from Ronaldo McGarrell and 21 from Ramraj, and were restricted for 134-7. McGarrell faced 51 balls and stroked three fours and a similar number of sixes, while Ramraj hit three fours. Randy Lindore took 2-23 while there was one each for Griffith, Singh and Sheriffudeen.
