Lower Corentyne storm back to defeat Upper Corentyne after dropping first innings points

Sep 11, 2016 Sports

The fighting spirit of the team from the Lower Corentyne/ New Amsterdam Canje area once again came to the fore on Saturday. Led by a destructive spell of left arm spin bowling from Kasim Khan with figures of 6-23 helped Lower Corentyne storm back after dropping first innings points to defeat neighbours Upper Corentyne for a come from behind win in their Jaguar Franchise cricket match played at the Port Mourant ground.
Upper Corentyne resumed the day on 22-2 in pursuit of 148 for victory and were in need of a further 126 runs. The home team found the going tough as the failed to negotiate the combined attack employed by the Lower Corentyne. Khan, who plies his trade with Young Warriors, was all over the batsmen and befuddled them with his spin, bounce and turn. His six wickets followed his first inning figures of 3-73 to end with match haul of 9-96.
Off spinner Saraj Ramsarran supported with 2-30, while pacer Raun Johnson and off spinner Gajanand Singh snared one each.
Overnight batsman Jashua Ramsammy was the only batsmen to offer and resistance with 44.
Upper Corentyne had earlier gained first innings points and were in with a chance of creating an upset when the game ended on the second day as the two teams were locked in battle.  However, Lower Corentyne had other ideas.
Lower Corentyne had elected to bat first after winning the toss on the first day and was dismissed for 162.  Surujnarine Kandasammy continued his good form with 66 (8×4), the prolific Jonathan Foo made 22(2×4, 1×6) with Gajanand Singh 20(2×4) and Waheed Edwards 17. They had slipped from 143-5 with the last five wickets tumbling for 19 runs.
Off Spinner Eon Hooper was the main destroyer for Upper Corentyne with 5-18, while there were one wicket each for Clinton Pestano, Rajiv Ivan, Omesh Mathura, Shaun Periera and Keon Sinclair.  (Samuel Whyte)
