Paul bore the responsibility of taking their team to a significant win by hammering 10 fours and three sixes in his responsible knock batting at number 4, as the Essequibians surged to their target of 260 in 59.1 overs.
Resuming their innings on 112 for 6, the President’s X1 were bowled out before lunch only managing to add 49 runs.
