The Mariners have emerged victorious after running down a 125 run margin set by the Cassowaries in the Isuzu Smash T20 Grand Final.
It was the Mariners who won the toss and elected to field in the first innings, confident they would get the job done.
Lega Siaka and Samson Tarapia, both openers for the Cassowaries, started out impressively with Siaka dominating the bowlers early.
This, however, came to a halt when Tarapia was dismissed for 6 runs after a John Kariko special saw the bails flying for the first wicket of the match.
Things would head south from then on out for the cassowaries, Lega Siaka scored his way to a half century of 33 balls, but was caught out by Michael Charlie to give Gaudi Toka his only wicket for the match.
Nelson Pate was next to go in the 10th over for only 2 runs. The cassowaries looked to be in all sort as Barnabas Maha was dismissed in the 11th over for 3 runs bringing them to 70/4.
Thankfully, the contributions of Hiri Hiri and Hila Vare managed to get them over the 100 run mark ending the innings with 125/10.
The Mariners wasted no time at the crease, Malcom Aporo and Gaudi Toka starting out strong before Toka was dismissed by Aue Oru.
Aporo followed suit in the 6th over. However, Barras captain Assadollah Vala formed a good partnership with Baeau Gabutu, but was felled in the 13th over by Warren Hobart.
This, however, did not deter the Mariners. Gabutu playing gracefully, scoring 39 runs before he was dismissed 17th over.
The Mariners went on to win the Grand Final by 4 wickets and Gabutu named player of the Match.
