A marvelous all round performance by Tapeball veteran Brian Sukhai helped ECI team clinched a last ball, one-wicket win over Alexander’s Village XI last Saturday at NIS ground, Carifesta Avenue in a tapeball cricket 20/20 affair.
On a day blessed with bright sunshine and the mighty Atlantic breeze gusting across the flat and fast outfield of NIS sports ground, Alexander village won the toss and elected to bat on a flat green pitch. The village team lost early wickets to the fast bowling pair of Rawle Munro and Sukhai before a steady partnership between Avinash (24) and Vishnu Merhai (25) provided them a platform to build a challenging 150 in 20 overs.
An unbeaten quickfire 26 ignited by Darnell later down the order provided support. Sukhai and medium pacer Karranchand Indarjit captured three wickets each.
ECI’s turn at the crease in pursuit of more than 7.5 runs an over, lost two early wickets before opener Tony Ramjewan (17) and right handed Sukhai added a 41 run partnership before a cluster of wickets fell to Medium pacers Vishnu Ramgobin and Avinash, each grabbing two wickets. Vinood Karran upped the much needed tempo with a blazing 21 (2×6 & 1×4) late down the order before Sukhai unleashed some sweetly timed strokes that kept ECI in the hunt.
It was high drama with last pair needing 13 from the six balls bowled by the precise Ramgobin. The contest came down to the last ball needing 4 runs and Ramgobin bowled a full pitched delivery which Sukhai came forward to and timed it exquisitely through the vacant extra cover boundary and wild celebrations erupted. Sukhai ended unbeaten on 59 runs (4×4 & 3×6) to complete a fine all round performance.
