Patrick Khan receives Man-of-the-Match trophy from Wazeda Hussain.
Last Friday night at the GCC Ground Bourda cricket fans witness an entertaining softball cricket match between Pritipaul Singh Investment and Floodlights XI who eventually emerged the winner.
Pritipaul Singh Investment won the toss and elected to bat. They made a respectable total of 196 for 9 in 25 overs with Romel Black top scoring with 61 and he was well supported by John Singh 47 and Anand Khemraj 25.
Mike Singh, who in his first three overs was expensive, bounced back to take 4 wickets for 42 runs off his allotted 5 overs being the best bowler for Floodlights. Patrick Khan and Vicky Ramsaywack took 2 wickets each in support.
When Floodlights XI batted they were always on top of the required run rate due to a good start from Abdul Sadeek 31 and Derick Ramoutar 19.
Skipper Kemal Seebaran then made 10 hitting a six and a four in two balls to keep the tempo going. But it was an unbroken 130 runs partnership between Ricky Deonarain, who made a blistering 69 not out and Man of the match Patrick Khan 40 not out that took Floodlights to their winning target of 197 in just 17 overs to ensure victory.
The two teams are expected to clash in a rematch by the request of Naresh Singh of Pritipaul Singh Investment.
Khan’s Trading Enterprise of Herstelling EBD was the sponsor of last Friday’s match.
