Kevin Christian slams 104 for West Coast Warriors; hits 6 sixes in one over
(Kaieteur News) – Former Guyana youth player Kevin Christian slammed a ferocious, 104 to pilot West Coast Warriors to a comfortable, 4-wicket win against Punjab Pura on Sunday at Flushing ground where action continued in the 2026 Commonwealth Cricket League 30-over tournament in New York.
The 25-year-old right-handed batsman also created history clobbering 6 sixes in one over. He struck a total of ten sixes and complemented his landmark innings with six fours during his 44-ball display.
Christian clubbed off spinner Chandan Mohapatra in the 12th over to become the first player to do it for his club.

West Coast Warriors, in pursuit of 232 for victory from the reduced 25-overs, safely reached the target with 18 balls to spare. The reduction of the overs was due to the late arrival of Pujab Pura.
Christian arrived at number 3 after Warriors lost Youghestir Bachan for 25. Soon after Anthony Providence departed for 10 but Christian and Chandrapaul Persaud featured in a match-defining, 137-run, third-wicket stand.
Persaud contributed 23 while Avi Dhanpaul kept the batting impetus with a fluent 48 (8×4).
Seamer Kulwinder Shanty Singh took 2-49 from his maximum five overs.
Earlier, Punjab Pura won the toss and elected to bat first. Singh led the way with an aggressive, 34-ball 80 which contained eight sixes and three fours.
Roma Garcha and Lavi Singh were also in the runs-column for Punjab Pura with 40 and 27 respectively.
Seamer Bachan proved his all-round capability by claiming 3-34 in his 5-over outing while Javed Shafeek, with similar action, accounted for two victims conceding 45 runs off four overs.
Meanwhile, the win keeps West Coast Warriors at the top of the points table having now registered four victories from as many matches.
The round- robin tournament will continue later this month. It is scheduled to run until September.
