Playing at Jack Brabham two, Sharpe (122 not out) and opener Tom Evans (79) took CYMS from 14 for the first wicket to 130 for the second.
The CYMS bats continued their good work to make 4-293 in their 40 overs.
Steve O’Donnell gave Centrals their best hope of chasing down the big total with his 100 but he was bowled by Nadeem Ashraf.
The rest of the Centrals batsmen struggled to be all out for 161.
Ashraf took 4-37 from his 7.1 overs.
The Metro Wanderers had a four-wicket win over Cavaliers in their clash at Glenroi Oval.
Cavaliers batted first and made a solid 178 with Alex Little the best with 29.
Chris Davis was solid with the ball for the Wanderers taking 5-26 off his seven overs, while Nathan Gander finished with figures of 3-29 from five overs.
After a slow start the Wanderers batsmen clicked into gear and reached six for 182 with eight overs to spare.
Nick Sharpe was unbeaten on 48, Cazim Kadic made 44.
Orange City had a five-wicket win over Waratahs at Jack Brabham one.
