Sunshine cart off ORSCA/KP Employment Solutions Inc. “Test” Format trophy
Kaieteur Sports – It was no sunshine last Saturday at Dixie-407 ground in Brampton, Ontario, due to rain clouds but Sunshine team prevailed by eight wickets against Masters to lift the Ontario Round-Arm Softball Cricket Association (ORSCA)/KP Employment Solutions Inc. “Test” Format trophy.
In hazy conditions, Sunshine won the toss and opted to bowl and it was always going to be a sense of justification by that decision from captain and Canada-based Guyanese Anil Mahadeo as Masters were limited to 52-9 from the 12 allotted overs. Sunshine replied with 87-7 off 12-overs perhaps enjoying a lead of 35.
Masters, in their second innings, rattled up 93 runs from the 12-overs despite losing eight wickets leaving Sunshine to get 59 for victory. They (Sunshine) galloped to the win with 6.1 overs to spare, thanks to Keyon Sinclair for hitting 25.
Scores in the match: Masters 52-9 (12) and 93-8 (12); Sunshine 87-7 (12) and 59-2 (5.5).
Young Sachin Dudnauth demonstrated his immense batting talent with a robust 38 for Masters in the second innings. His knock contained five sixes and a four as Jeetendra Beharry snapped up 3-10 from three tidy overs.
The victorious Sunshine team strike a pose just after the game with the championship trophy.
In Sunshine’s first innings appearance, another Guyanese-born Ramiz Mohamed hit a top-score of 27. Captain Mark Nazir claimed 3-17 off two overs.
Khemraj Harrinarain also bowled well for Sunshine with impressive figures of 3-17 off two overs in the initial innings.
Beharry was named player-of-the-match, while Dudnauth copped the prize for being the player-of-the-match for Masters.
At the post-match presentation and award ceremony, Masters Players received a medal each while their team took home a trophy.
For the victorious combination, each player was awarded with a trophy while the Mahadeo collected the champion trophy.
Both Beharry and Dudnauth also were recipients of a trophy apiece for their outstanding performances.
