Opener Bhaskar Yadram and his elder brother Kamesh Yadram turned in commendable performances with
the bat as Enterprise A defeated Perseverance by 203 runs when the East Coast Cricket Committee/SPR Enterprise 40-over tournament continued on Sunday.
Bhaskar added 96 for the opening stand with Vivian Albert after host Enterprise A elected to bat. Albert cracked four fours and one six before he was caught behind off left arm seamer Darren Scotland for 41. Bhaskar and Kamesh then featured in a second wicket stand of 84 to further frustrate the visitors on good pitch. The pair timed the ball well as they executed a number of handsome shots on both sides of the pitch. Bhaskar a former national U15 player slammed nine fours and one six before he was caught behind off Agustine Chichester, chasing at a wide ball for a fluent 88. Kamesh a former national U19 player hit ten fours in a chanceless unbeaten 81, while Rabindra Beepat made 27; Enterprise A posted 288-5 off their reduced 35 overs. Chichester claimed 3-36 while Scotland and Rayon Wilson had one each.
In reply, Perseverance lost wickets at regular intervals and were bowled out for 85 in 17.3 overs. Chichester hit four fours and one six in a top score of 29, while Samea Singh 12 and Olester Bourne 11 were the only other batsmen that reached double figures. Amar Kishore snared 3-18, Hemnauth Dindyal 2-11 and Chatterpaul Singh 2-16.
At Paradise, Enterprise B got the better of the host by nine wickets. Batting first, Paradise scored 196-8 off their reduced 35 overs. F. Jones and C. Fraser gave them a fine start with a first wicket stand of 57 before Fraser went for 27. Jones kept the innings together with a top scored 70; he featured in a third-wicket
partnership of 58 with J. Martin who got 25. Following their demise Paradise lost their way as they finished on 196-8. Dave Persaud grabbed 2-25, Satyanand Ramkumar 2-34 and Mankad Balkishun 2-42.
Vishwanauth Gobin and Balkishun set Enterprise B on course with an opening stand of 112. The pair was aggressive from the inception, hitting the bowlers to all parts of the outfield. Gobin hammered eleven fours and two sixes before he went for 63, but Balkishun and Hansraj Sookdeo saw their team home with an unbroken second wicket partnership of 85. Balkishun clobbered nine fours and one six in scoring 72 while Sookdeo made 31 (2×4,2×6); Enterprise B ended on 197-1 in 26 overs. S. Hosanna took 1-23.
