Kaieteur Sports- The East Bank Cricket Association (EBDCA) continued its D&R Construction and Machinery Second Division 40-Over Competition with two thrilling encounters over the weekend at the Farm ground.
Joash Charles 3-7 and patient 34 seals victory for East Bank U23.
East Bank Under-23 and Herstelling Sports Club ‘B’ registered crucial victories, setting the stage for more high-octane action in the coming round.
On Saturday, East Bank Cricket Association U23 clinched a three-wicket victory over a struggling Timehri Cricket Club. After being sent in to bat, Timehri CC never got going, folding for a mere 90 in 23.5 overs. Jovind Duncan and Joash Charles made early inroads, returning figures of 3-7 and 2-18, respectively. Asuf Robert also kept things tight with a tidy spell of 2-17, ensuring Timehri CC was bundled out for under 100.
Chasing a modest target, Charles showcased his all-round capabilities, anchoring the innings with a well-composed 34, which included one boundary and four towering sixes. Deonarine Dindial was also in fine touch, stroking a calculated 52, decorated with one four and four maximums. East Bank U23 reached 91-7 in just 11.3 overs, securing the win in dominant fashion.
Sunday’s clash saw Herstelling ‘B’ take on Herstelling CTI in an all-Herstelling showdown. Batting first, Herstelling ‘B’ put up a competitive 191 in 35.5 overs, thanks to a gritty 46 from Trevor Garraway, who found the ropes four times and cleared them twice. Stephon Wilson provided solid support with a composed 21, which included two boundaries and a six.
Needing 192 from 240 deliveries, Herstelling CTI faltered under pressure, skittled out for 156 in just 29.2 overs. Their batting lineup struggled to build partnerships, handing Herstelling ‘B’ a comfortable 35-run victory.
