Settlers and Pelicans registered wins on Friday's opening day of the third edition of the  BIM10 Tournament at the Windward Club Ground in St. Philip, Barbados.

Two-time champions Settlers, set up by some excellent batting, defeated last season’s finalists Voyagers by 20 runs, while Pelicans beat Titans by four wickets with two balls remaining.

In the Settlers innings after they lost the toss, talented Barbados batsman Kevin Wickham led the way with 44 not out off 21 balls including seven fours and one six.

Wickham and fellow Empire and ex-Barbados allrounder Kevin Stoute, with an unbeaten 43 off 27 balls, also hitting seven boundaries and one six, added 87 in 6.5 overs.

The pair came together after Kadeem Alleyne, himself a former Empire player, who now represents UWI, blasted 36 off 14 balls with three fours and three sixes.

Voyagers were then restricted to 109 for five in reply.

Spartan captain Akeem Springer top scored with 33 off 12 balls while Giovonte Depeiza made 23*.

In the second game, Titans made 126 for three after losing the toss.

Opener Shian Brathwaite, captain of last year’s Elite division champions, Empire, scored 53 not out off 23 balls with eight fours and two sixes while Nyeem Young and Jerome Jones chipped in with 32 and 20*, respectively.

Kyle Jordan then slammed 48 off 17 balls with six fours and three sixes to spearhead the Pelicans successful reply before being the fourth batsman to go, falling with the score on 73 after five overs.

Two more wickets fell in successive overs before Jamar Ifill (24*) and Akeem Jordan (26*) featured in a stand of 50 off 21 balls to secure victory.
