Jan 08, 2013 Sports
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad – Guyana have done it once again, snatching victory from the jaws of what seemed like a defeat in the end of what started as an easy chase in the third game of the Caribbean Twenty20 at Queen’s Park Oval here yesterday.
CCC had it. They did, but they just couldn’t believe their fortunes in the end. A no-ball from Jason Holder off the penultimate ball and suddenly Guyana need 7 runs from 2 balls. Skipper Veersammy Permaul clubbed a six and Devendra Bishoo was well home off the last ball running the winning run.
Combined Campuses and Colleges, sent in to bat by Guyana, scored 159-3 from their 20 overs. Chadwick Walton hammered 99 not out, Kyle Corbin 25 and Raymon Reifer 21 led their batting. Devendra Bishoo with 1-25 was the pick of the Guyanese bowlers.
In reply, Guyana lost Trevon Griffith early with the score on 12. Shivnarine Chanderpaul, 38, and Ramnaresh Sarwan began to up the tempo as they chased down the target, a mix up saw Sarwan being run out for 8 with the score on 29 in the fifth over.
Narsingh Deonarine scored 57 as he was the mainstay of the innings as only Royston Crandon (10) reached double figures of the other batsmen. Several wickets fell in quick succession leaving Permaul and Bishoo to get 12 runs in the final over and they eventually did after some drama; Herald celebrations from the Guyana camp.
The action continues today with two more games in Trinidad. Barbados face Jamaica in the first match, while CCC will hope for better fortunes when they face the home team Trinidad in the second match. Guyana are in action again on Thursday when they take on Barbados.
Scores: CCC 159 for three off 20 overs (Chadwick Walton 99 not out, Kyle Corbin 25, Raymon Reifer 21; Devendra Bishoo 1-25); GUYANA 160-8 off 20 overs (Chanderpaul 38, Deonarine 57; Reifer 4wkts, Holder2 wkts) Result: Guyana win by 2 wkts.
