Bailey's Bay found themselves in immediate trouble, reeling at 4 wickets down for just six runs. They eventually managed to recover somewhat, adding another 100 runs before being bowled out for 106. Their innings was largely rescued by a defiant 57 from Derrick Brangman, who faced 87 balls and struck 8 fours. Flatts' bowling attack was spearheaded by a sensational performance from Kamau Leverock, who claimed the first four wickets and finished with impressive figures of 5 for 52 from 10.3 overs. Former Flatts captain Kevin Hordle provided excellent support, taking 4 for 43 from 12 overs.
