Batting first, IBC made 101 all out off 13 overs. Bowling for Marian Academy, Kiefer Robin took 4-28 from four overs. He received support from Rene Henry 3-14.

Marian Academy then knocked off the target of 102 for the loss of seven wickets in 28.5 overs. Chanderpaul and Robin returned with the bat to score 27 and 19 runs respectively whilst Andy Manchan took 3-15 from eight overs.
Meanwhile, in a twist of things, IBC has been disqualified from the competition by the organizers, after it was alleged and confirmed that they were playing over aged players. These allegations were brought against the school by Monar Educational Institute (MEI) who had been beaten by 190 runs by the defaulters on Monday last. MEI at first alleged that five of the students were over the required age limit but when the organisers spoke to a represesentative of the school Mr. Shariram Lall, he confirmed that of the five students, only two, Quacy Caesar and Ricardo Devers, son of former national under-19 off spinner and journalist, Sean Devers, were above the age limit.
As a result, IBC was disqualified from the competition and all their positive results have been reversed.
