AT BETTER HOPE
In what could be described as an upset, 2017 Elizabeth Styles Champions Better-Hope Cricket Club ‘B’ (BCCB) succumbed to Better-Hope Raptors (BHR) in an exciting encounter. Batting first in bright sunshine with the match being reduced to 25 overs, the visitors amassed 243 all out in the final over.
Mustafa Azimulla 34 with 5 X 4 and 3 x 6, Alex Persaud stroking a magnificent 73 striking 5 X 4 and 4 X 6 and Brandon Jordon chipped in with an even 50 not out which included 3 X 4 and 3 X 6. Bowling for BCCB were Ryan Premchand, Ravi Singh, Kevin Singh and Anand Persaud who took one wicket each.
BCCB started the reply shakily until the explosive Sachin Singh arrived at the crease who blasted 110 with 10 X 4 and 8 X 6. Roy Persaud 54 with 4 X 4 and 5 X 6 worked the bowling beautifully but were unable to reach the target when the 25th over ended as BCCB reached 239 for 5, just 5 runs short of victory. Bowling for BHR were Deoram Narine, Reeaz Mohamed and Brandon Jordon who claimed one wicket each.
