Three teams battle for honours as GUYTRAC 20/20 cricket tournament concludes

Sep 20, 2014 Sports

Following riveting action in the quarterfinals of the GUYTRAC 20/20 knockout cricket competition last Sunday afternoon, three teams are scheduled to compete for a place in the finals with one moving on to championship honours when action resumes at the Crabwood Creek Sports Complex Ground (CSCG) tomorrow afternoon.
Skeldon tackle # 69 Red Rose in the eliminator at 10:00hrs while # 64 Fighting Marines await the outcome of that match to play the winner. The first encounter is expected to get underway at 10:00hrs with the finals commencing at 14:00hrs.
Meanwhile, when the action resumed last Sunday at the CSCG, # 69 Red Rose defeated # 48 challengers by 4 wickets in the first game, while  # 64 Fighting Marines replicated the feat against Springlands by 2 wickets.
No. 48 challengers batted first and were bowled out for 74 runs in 15.4 overs with the principal scorer, Brian Samaroo, contributing 15 runs and returning to take two wickets.
Bowling for # 69 Red Rose, Odesh  Seeram snared three wickets, while Tamesh Persaud, Cris Nourang and Dave Rampersaud took two wickets each. In reply # 69 Red Rose reached 77-6 in 17 overs with the best batsman, Peter Chaitram, contributing 27.
In the second qualifying game, the Fighting Marines demonstrated determination and grit to eke out a close two wickets win over Springlands with one delivery to spare. Springlands took first strike and scored a challenging 176 for 5 in 20 overs with Trishan Ramdass (47), Somdat Singh (33) and Deoprakash Ramdat (33*) making valuable contributions.  Steven Embrack was the best bowler and took 3 wickets for # 64 Fighting Marines with the former player returning to contribute 26 runs with the bat. That team then raced to 178-8 in 19.5 overs to win by two wickets and 1 ball to spare. Leonard Sandy lashed an even half century to pilot the fight back for the winners, while Davendra Budhoo supported with 29 runs.
Tomorrow’s encounters should be entertaining and admission is free. Music will be in attendance with a stocked food and drinks bar.
