Bob Falconer won the toss and opted to bat. The move backfired as the home side were bowled out for 156, of which Falconer top-scored with 40 and Gary Martin hit 35.
In reply, a scintillating unbeaten 101 by Queenslander Martin Love steered the champions to a nine-wicket win.
The day after, the first team made amends by defeating Beckenham in the national knockout cup by 82 runs. Cheam reached 196-8 and skittled the Kent side for 114.
