An attacking century by Avinash Shradananda propelled Shakeer XI of West Coast Demerara to a seven-wicket victory over Superstar XI in an over-35 softball contest sponsored by Trophy Stall Friday night last at Thirst Park.
Shradananda stroked eight fours and ten sixes in his top score of 101 and dominated a third wicket stand of 140 with Naresh Persaud to set his team on course after they were reduced to 20-2. Persaud scored an unbeaten 27 (4×4) as Shakeer XI reached their target of 207-3 in 14 overs in front of a fair size crowd. Jagdesh Persaud snared 3-18.
Superstar batted first and posted 206-3 off their allotted over 15 overs. Surujpaul Mohan slammed a sparkling 93, while Jagdesh Persaud scored 38 (3×4) and D. Hemraj 30 (2×4). Mohan, who cracked four fours and eight sixes, and Persaud, put together134 for the opening stand to set the tone for a challenging total before Persaud was dismissed.
Mohan continued to take the fight to the opposition and added a further 45 with Hemraj before he went in the penultimate over. Naresh Persaud claimed 2-30.
Shradananda was given the man of the match award, while Shakeer XI received a trophy.
Stand up for your children, please.
