Belle Vue humiliate La Grange in Malvern T20 Tournament

The Belle Vue Cricket Club made light work of their La Grange counterparts in a match of the Canal #1 Malvern T20 Tournament played at the Canal #1 ground recently.
Having won the toss, La Grange elected to bowl first in a move that was quite understandable from the standpoint that, historically, teams batting second on this pitch have won their games with ease.

The La Grange strategy did not pay off, as Belle Vue posted 142-6 in their allotted 20 overs despite losing a few wickets early in the innings.
The Belle Vue side were able to capitalize on their middle and final five overs to prevent themselves from posting a low total. Kerwin Bennett top scored with 51, and Ravi Prasad contributed 38. Bowling for La Grange, G. Singh took 3 wickets.
Needing 147 for victory off 120 balls, La Grange were bowled out for 99. Things never got going as they had hoped, and they made a mess of every opportunity given. They were unable to utilise the bad balls as scoreboard pressure got to them, and they eventually choked.
Kelly (only name given), with 30 not out, and S. Persaud and G. Singh with 15 and 13 respectively, were the only batsmen to show some fight, as Belle Vue bowlers Ajula Bowman took 3-24 from four overs, Safraz Baksh took 2-14 from 2.3 overs, and Ryan Seecharran took 2-16 from his 2 overs. Thus Belle Vue won the match by 43 runs.
Each team participating in this T20 tournament will be battling for the right to be considered the number one T20 team in Canal #1. At stake are more than US$2000 in cash and prizes.
