Aug 20, 2008 Sports

Regal XI led qualifiers thru to the quarter-finals of the Guyana Softball League, Banks DIH sponsored cricket competition following results of games played last Sunday.

Regal XI of Georgetown outclassed Untouchables XI of Berbice by 7 runs in a skillful display at the Eve Leary Ground on Pitch # 1 to book their place.

Regal XI batted first and were affected by the rain, being forced off on three occasions, but eventually made 124-7 in 15 overs with Mahase Chunilall being pushed up the order to opening the batting, leading the way with 45 which included 2×6’s and 2×4 in a sensible display, rotating the strike expertly.

He was well supported by the other opening batsman Zulfikar Ali with 26 (1×6; 2×4) in an opening partnership of 45 which set the tone for them to achieve their eventual score (124-7 in 15 overs).

The bowling for Untouchables was led by the wily Sanasee Tyrone who spun the ball prodigiously to capture 3-17 from his 3 overs. He was supported by Vidyan Da Silva with 2-23 from his 3 overs.

When Untouchables batted, they were going at the same rate as Regal XI and at one stage were cruising at 89-4 in 11 overs, but when Vicky Persaud, the eventual top scorer with 43(5×6; 2×4)was bowled by Mahase Chunilall, the bating went into a decline.

Persaud was supported by David Looknauth with 14 (2×4) as their team was eventually being bowled out for 117 in 14.5 overs.
