Left hander Narsingh Deonarine stroked a patient 51 as Guyana defeated the Combined Campuses and Colleges by three wickets in their West Indies Cricket Board Regional Super 50, Round Five game last evening at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence.
Deonarine shared in a fourth wicket stand of 68 with Leon Johnson to steady the host run chase after they restricted the visitors to 175.
Opener Trevon Griffith got the Guyanese off to a flier; he dispatched the second ball of the innings from pacer Kesrick Williams for four through mid wicket. He then flicked and punched Jason Dawes for boundaries the following over before Guyana lost experienced batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul for 2 when he played back to Nekoli Parris and was trapped lbw with the score on 39 in the 6th over.
Ramnaresh Sarwan (05) got off the mark with a boundary through extra cover before he was put down at first slip off Williams. He failed to capitalise and was taken at square leg in the same over essaying a pull shot. Griffith was then caught and bowled by Williams for 33 (5×4) as Guyana slipped to 50-3 before Deonarine and Johnson pulled the home team out of trouble with sensible batting in front of a small but vocal crowd.
Deonarine punched Parris through point for four, while Johnson cut Raymond Reifer to the cover boundary before he was caught and bowled by Parris for 37(2×4). Stephen Jacobs who was dropped at mid wicket when on 3 was given out leg before to Akeem Dewar for 12 to leave Guyana in a spot of bother at 147-5.
Deonarine and Anthony Bramble added 19 for sixth wicket before Deonarine who sustained a minor injury while batting was caught and bowled by Austin for 51 which contained four fours. Austin then accounted for Veerasammy Permaul (00) who came in ahead of Paul Wintz. Bramble and Bishoo then saw Guyana home without further hiccups as they ended on 178-7 in 48 overs. Bramble finished unbeaten on 12, while Bishoo who pulled and swept Austin for boundaries to seal the issue for his team was not out on 9. Parris was the pick of the bowlers for CCC with 2-34, while Williams took 2-35; Austin and Dewar had 1 each.
Earlier, CCC decided to bat but after winning the toss, recovered from a poor start before they were bowled out in 48.3 overs. Anthony Alleyne was their leading scorer with 58 (3×4).
CCC lost the early wicket of Chadwick Walton to off spinner Steven Jacobs in the third over for 1, before Devendra Bishoo accounted for Kyle Corbin (00) and Shacaya Thomas (22) in the space of three balls to leave the score 43 for 3 in the 15th over.
Anthony Alleyne and Nekoli Parris added respectability to the batting as they steered CCC to triple figure mark.
However, pacer Paul Wintz struck two crucial blows by removing Nekoli Parris 31 and Floyd Reifer, who had his off stump knocked over for 14.
Poor communication between the wickets with Raymon Reifer and Anthony Alleyne resulted in the latter being run out 133 for 6.
CCC then lost their last four wickets for 42 runs. Ronsford Beaton accounted for Raymon Reifer (18), while Akeem Dewar and Ryan Austin were run out for four and eight respectively; Kesrick Williams made three before he was stumped off Permaul.
Paul Wintz and Devendra Bishoo claimed 2 for 28 and 2 for 31 respectively while Jacobs, Beaton and Permaul had 1 each.
