A five wicket haul by teenage spinner Alex Chunilall guided host Ogle CC to a 22-run victory over Paradise Sports and Cultural Club when the teams collided in a T20 fixture yesterday for the Hajji SM Yaseen Memorial trophy.
Chunilall, who was named man of the match and Ogle’s most valuable player, grabbed 5-12 from three overs as the visitors were bowled out for 83 in 18.4 overs after being set 106 for victory on a slow and low track.
Paradise reply got off to a bad start with Romain Mangra removing openers Nathaniel Ramcharitar (04) and Steve Sookdeo to leave the score a t 6-2. However Kevon Charles (13) and Daniel Hampton (09) steadied the chase somewhat with a third wicket stand of 40 before they were both removed by Chunilall. Skipper Fareed Ramjohn struck three fours in a top score of 26, but his efforts were not supported down the order as Romain Mangra and David Harper finished with two wickets each.
Earlier, Ogle decided to bat and openers Soopaul Sanichar and former first class batsman Azeemul Haniff added 26 for the first wicket before Sanichar was taken off Hampton for 13. Haniff and Khemraj Dindyal then took the score to 43, but in an effort to increase the run rate, Haniff was caught at mid-wicket off Kawall Dhanraj for 19 who later trapped Dindyal lbw for 10.
Ogle were never allowed to score freely as former National all-rounder David Harper followed shortly for 10. But Devraj Chunilall propped up the total in the latter stage; he slammed two fours and one six a scoring 26, while Ashmul Ali was left not out on 10. Paradise MVP Ramjohn claimed 2-13, Dhanraj 2-26 while there was one each for Hampton and Anand Ramlochan.
The match was played in memory of former manager of Ogle CC and the late Hajji SM Yaseen. At the presentation ceremony which was attended by Hajjin Nazmoon Yassin, both teams received trophies and exchanged plaques, while each young player that took part in the game was given a medal compliments of the tourist.
