Canada-based Guyanese Imran Ali hits 104 for Hawaiian Sensation in OMSCC Over-40 T20
Kaieteur Sports – Destructive opening batsman and Canada-based Guyanese, Imran Ali, hit 104 retired-hurt for Hawaiian Sensation who whipped Reliance Lions by 72 runs last Sunday at Ashtonbee Park, Scarborough in the continuation of the 2023 Ontario Masters Softball Cricket Clubs (OMSCC) Over-40, T20 competition.
The left-handed Ali hammered nine sixes and six fours during his enterprising 59-ball show at the crease leading Hawaiian Sensation to imposing 218-0 off the 20-overs.
Reliance Lions, in reply, only reached 146-6 when the 20-overs ran out.
Apart from the Ali’s landmark, he also participated in a record-breaking 207-run first-wicket stand with former Guyana first-class wicketkeeper/batsman Azib Ali Hanif.

The right-handed Hanif also batted aggressively to make 82 which contained 11 fours and a maximum.
For Reliance Lions, veteran batsman Jaimini Singh stroked a fighting 48 and 33 from Chaitnarine Monelall.
And across at Dean Park also in the Scarborough District, Canadian Legends humbled Warriors Club with five-wicket margin. Warriors Cricket Club only managed an insufficient 108-9 at the expiration of the 20-overs while Canadian Legends, in response, reached the target with 13 balls remaining.
Nishal Dass led the way with 40 while Abinash Ramnarayan contributed an unbeaten 27.
Earlier, Warriors Cricket Club, last year’s runners-up side, was invited to take first strike after Canadian Legends won the toss.
Seasoned batsman and ex-Guyana youth player, Rovendra Mandolall, scored 24 and 22 from Rakesh Dyal as Raja Pooran bagged 3-8 from his allotted three tidy overs.
Defending champions Rebel Masters had drawn the bye but the action is set to continue this Sunday with two more matches.
Hawaiian Sensation will come against Canadian Legends at Dean Park while Warriors Cricket Club will tackle Rebel Masters at Ashtonbee Park facility. Both encounters commence at 1:30 pm.
