Trevor Benn produced a fine all-round performance to guide Meten-Meer-Zorg West to a comfortable 72 run victory over Tuschen as the West Coast Demerara United Cricket League\ President’s Cup twenty \20 competition continued last Sunday.
Playing at Uitvlugt, Meten-Meer-Zorg scored 160-6 off their 20 overs after taking first strike.
Benn blasted an unbeaten 70 which included five sixes and three fours and got support from Mahendra Nandkishore and Balbinder Shivpersaud with 21 each as medium pacer Safraz Karim snared 3-26.
Tuschen in reply managed 88-9 in 13 overs with one of their batsmen refusing to take to the crease. Karim was their leading run getter with 22(5×4) as Shivpersaud captured 3-10, Jason Heyliger 3-15, and Benn 2-23.
Earlier at the same venue, Meten-Meer-Zorg West got past Vergenoegen by 12 runs. In a match which was reduced to 15 overs due to rain, Meten-Meer-Zorg West managed 97-8 off their allocation of overs. Shivpersaud led with 20, while Nandkishore supported with 16, and Trevor Benn 12.
Sheldon Alexander and H. Persaud collected 2 wickets apiece for Vergenoegen who responded with 85-9 in 15 overs. H. Mohamed was their chief run getter with 35(2×4, 2×6), while Kevon Boodie contributed 17. Jason Heyliger, Shivpersaud, Nandkishore and Vinood Kumar snared 2 wickets each for the winners.
At Cornelia Ida, Meten-Meer-Zorg East Uprising Star defeated Leonora by 8 wickets. Wayne Osborne, Chandreka Ragnauth and Imran khan grabbed 3 wickets each as Leonora were bowled out for a paltry 67 after batting first.
Their bowlers then removed Khan, Ragnauth and Kemo Paul cheaply to put Meten-Meer-Zorg East under pressure but Osborne kept his cool to see his team home in 12.2 overs with an unbeaten 42 as they finished on 68-3. The competition continues on Saturday. (Zaheer Mohamed)
