Kaieteur Sports – Former Guyana and West Indies youth player Zamal Khan struck an attractive 120 to lead Phoenix Cricket Club to a resounding 125-run win over Empire Cricket Club in another round fixture of the 2023 New York National Cricket League (NYNCL) 40-overs competition.

Captain Brandon Cabose, Emanuel Seecharran, Kenly Adams and Kumar Joseph all picked up two wickets apiece for Empire who opted to bowl first after winning the toss .In Empire Cricket Club’s reply, Rovin Dusrajh batted brilliantly to be stranded on 99 not out , running out of partners as Empire was bowled out for 185.

On an animated pitch, left arm spinner Gaurav Ramesh delivered with precision and good control to claim 4-30 from his maximum eight overs to help Phoenix significantly with the ball.
