Jeremiah Scott struck a fine century as Malteenoes Sports Club defeated Guyana National Industrial Corporation Sports Club (GNICSC) by 162 runs when the Georgetown Cricket Association New Building Society Second Division 40-over tournament continued on Sunday last.
Scott’s century guided MSC to 326-7 off their allotted 40 overs, batting first at GNISC SC ground.
After being reduced to 31-3, Scott and Keifer Naughton steadied the innings with level-headed batting as they put on 114 for the fourth wicket before Naughton was caught off Shane Brown for 54 which contained six fours and two sixes. Scott then added 108 for the fifth-wicket with Simeon Sam who was dismissed for 31.
Scott continued to time the ball well and hammered 16 fours and two sixes before he was bowled by Marcel Mentore for 116. Ntini Permaul chipped in with 24 as Brown finished with 2-39.
In reply, GNISC SC were restricted to 21-3 before Tavin Collins and Leswell George gave them hope with a fourth-wicket stand of 77. But when Collins fell for a top score of 50 and George departed for 30, the rest of the bating failed to offer any resistance as GNIC SC were bowled out for 164 in 31.4 overs. (Zaheer Mohamed)
