PSC won the toss and elected to bat first. The openers Darvin Muralitharan and Thomas Mathew started off well by playing some nice shots before Thomas Mathew was bowled by a superb Nazirul Izzudin delivery which turned and clipped the top of off stump. Pavithren Nadaesan showed some resistance by making 11 runs of 20 balls before getting caught at short midwicket. Darvin kept the scoreboard moving by hitting the odd boundary and rotating the strike well. Shahul Hameed made a brisk 30 of 20 balls with two 4's and a six. Soon after Darvin was caught at slip after a splendid innings of 53 off 52 balls. Avtar Singh and P. Sanmugaraja finished the innings with 8 and 16 respectively which took the total to 133. Nazirul Izzudin was the peak of the bowlers picking up 2 wickets for 28.
The Navy were struggling right from the start with both the in swing bowlers Arjun Kumar and Darvin Muralitharan operating from both sides. Darvin caught and bowled Kamarul Affendy of a slower ball which worked perfectly on a track that looked good for the batsman. Rudy Ismandi was then bowled by Arjun Kumar the very next over with the score at 13. Nazirul Izzudin was in at 4 and was caught behind the very next ball. Arjun Kumar was on a hat-trick. Unfortunately he bowled a wide before bowling Hj Jamislan for 0. None of the top Navy batsman got pass double figures. Kamarul Rizal and Adnan Jusoh played some good shots before falling even before getting the score pass 50. Avtar Singh and Pavithren Nadaesan cleaned up the tail by picking up 3 wickets and 2 wickets respectively. The Navy were bowled out for 71 runs in just 13.4 overs.
PSC 133 for 5 of 20 overs. Darvin 53, Shahul 30, Nazirul Izzudin 2 for 28 and Chandra Segar 1 for 2 in one over.
Navy 71 all out in 13.4 overs. Adnan Jusoh 16, Chandra Segar 14, Arjun Kumar 4 for 26 and Avtar Singh 3 for 17
