Oct 24, 2012 Sports

Nazim Mohamed (139) and Ezam Ali (74) steer No.71 to a 175-run victory over Skeldon

The 2012 Neal and Massy Intermediate 50-Over Cricket Competition organized by the Berbice Cricket Board continued recently with No.71 inflicting a heavy defeat on Zone D’s favourite, Skeldon Community Centre.
In the match which was played at No. 71 and which was reduced to 40 overs-a-side because if the late arrival of Skeldon, No.71 won the toss and elected to take first strike. After losing an early wicket with only 3 runs on board, Ezam Ali dominated a second-wicket stand of 60 in 10 overs before his partner, Deoprakash Ramdat, fell for 9. Five runs later, Imran Khan went for a duck and at the same score, Imran Mohamed suffered the same fate, No.71 in effect falling from 63 for 1 to 68 for 4, with all three wickets going to off spinner Gajendra Ramnarine.
However, Ali was joined by his young brother, Nazim Mohamed and together they took the initiative away from Skeldon, built a partnership and proceeded to add 106 for the 5th wicket before Ali fell to Ramnarine for 74 (9 fours and 4 sixes) at 174 for 5. Mohamed continued and put on 35 for the 6th wicket with Deonarine Deodharie (18) and after three quick wickets fell again, he hammed almost single-handedly, an unbroken 9th wicket stand for 55 with Amar Rajin, whose contribution was 1, not out. At the end, Mohamed was 139 not out, which included 18 fours and 5 sixes, taking No.71 to a sound position at 262 for 8 in their 40 overs. Bowling for Skeldon, Ramnarine ended with 5 for 48 from 8 overs.
When Skeldon Community Centre began their response, No.71 opening medium pacer, Nazim Mohamed, returning immediately with the ball, took three early wickets to leave them 15 for 3. The opening off spinner, Deoprakash Ramdat, then took the next three to see them slipping further to 49 for 6. Nigel Trotz tried to take Skeldon to the 100-run mark but after he fell for 22, his team folded for 87, to lose by 175 runs. Bowling for No.71, Nazim Mohamed and Deoprakash Ramdat each took 3 for 20 from 4 and 8 overs respectively, while Deonarine Deodharie took 2 for 22 from 3 overs.
