Hosts DCC, led by 9-19 from Ezekiel Wilson and an unbeaten 29 from Alphius Bookie, crushed TSC by six wickets, while Vedant Parwal and Gautham Ravindran, who shared nine wickets between them and a patient 60 from Saiteja Mukkamalla spearheaded NY Tri State to a six-wicket win at Bourda in the Semi-finals of the GCA’s NY Tri State 50-over U-19 League yesterday.

In-form opener Mukkamalla top-scored with 60 with three fours and a six from 138 balls but his innings was as exciting as watching paint dry. Skipper Sanjay Stanley, on the back on 92 in his last match, contributed 43 from 64 balls with a six and a four, while Chatiunya Parwal, who ended the match with a four back over the head of leg-spinner Wayne Bollers, ended unbeaten on 27.
