Playing at Reliance Sports ground, Essequibo Coast, Region 2, the right-handed Chattergoon clobbered 12 sixes and two fours during his 48-ball show.
His team tallied up 165-0 from the reduced 15-overs while Essequibo Legends surpassed the target with just a ball remaining.
The reduction of the overs was due to a late start.

Lloyd Innis, Tigers’ frontline batter, offered some resistance with an impressive half-century (54).
In the other fixture between defending champion Caribbean Cricket Club 2 and Hibernia Strikers was abandoned due to rain.
