Kaieteur Sports – A boundary-studded 104 not out from opening batsman and Canada-based Guyanese, Anil Etwaroo, fired Sunshine to a resounding innings and two-run win over Aces Cricket Club last Saturday in one of the 2023 Ontario Round-Arm Softball Cricket Association (ORSCA)/KP Employment Services “Test” semis.
Playing at the Robert J. Lee Public School ground in Brampton, the right-handed Etwaroo blasted 12 sixes and five fours as Sunshine raced to 194-1 from the allotted 12-overs replying Aces Cricket Club’s first innings 114-8 (12). Etwaroo, who hails from Wakenaam in Essequibo, knocked five consecutive sixes in one over. He got terrific support from Jeetendra Beharry who blazed a decorated, unbeaten 79 which counted ten sixes, including six sixes in a solitary over. In Aces second innings, they only made 78-4, two runs short of making Sunshine batting again. Scores in the match: Aces Cricket Club 114-8 (12) and 74-4 (12); Sunshine 194-1 (12). Roger Ramanand grabbed 4-28 from two overs to help limit Aces Cricket Club to their first innings modest total.
