They started well and were coasting along before Mahanama fought back with a few quick wickets. However DSS did well to not panic and reached their target with 2 overs to spare for the loss of 6 wickets.

The day ended after the winners trophies and medals were presented to DSS and Visakha with Mahanama and Mueseus collecting the runners up medals.
