An outstanding all-round performance by Jagdesh Persaud guided Speed XI to an 11-run win over Shakir XI when the teams collided on Wednesday night last for the Factory Price softball title at Thirst Park.
Persaud reached the boundary eight times and cleared it on five occasions in his top score of 71 to propel his team to 209-4 off their allocation of 20 overs, batting first. Persaud and Ramo Malone laid the foundation for a sizeable total with an opening stand of 65 before Malone went for 18. Persaud and Yusuf Yunnis further consolidated with a second wicket stand of 79 with sensible batting. Following the departure of Persaud, Yunnis added 52 with Randolph Parreira before they were both dismissed in the final over. Yunnis slammed 64 (3×4 6×6) while Parreira scored 31 (1×4).
Ashmead Bacchus claimed 2-28. Zamal Khan then smashed a swashbuckling 91 to lead Shakir XI reply, but they ended on 198-9 in 20 overs. Khan belted nine fours and seven sixes and shared in a fifth with partnership of 101 with Bacchus (19) after their team found themselves in trouble at 54-4 at one stage.
Aftar Khan chipped in with 15; Persaud bagged 5-18 to claim the man-of-the-match award while Malone took 3-15. Both teams received trophies while Khan collected the best batsman prize, Vishwanauth Deoram the most outstanding fielder accolade and Malone the best bowler trophy.
