CG United Super50 tournament: Imlach records career best batting figures

– before rain forces no result between GHE, CCC

A career-best batting performance from Tevin Imlach was overshadowed by torrential rainfall that forced a no contest between the Guyana Harpy Eagles and Combined Campuses and Colleges (CCC) yesterday.
The match was played at the Sir Frank Worrell Memorial Ground, and the CCC won the toss and inserted Harpy Eagles to bat. They were restricted to a paltry 177 runs in 48.1 overs. CCC were 86 for five after 15 overs before the rains came.
Romario Greaves struck early to remove Kemol Savory, who feathered a simple catch to Shane Dowrich behind the stumps, while his opening partner Tagenarine Chanderpaul continued to make 30 from 61 balls before also handing Dowrich a catch, this time off of Shatrughan Rambaran, as Eagles were 54 for two.
Shimron Hetmyer’s poor run continued, as he smacked a simple catch to backward point off of Ambhijai Mansingh for 10. However, Imlach motored through the tumbling wickets to carve four fours and a six. He maximized on the two missed opportunities he presented to CCC with his fourth List A half-century and best of 80 from 105 balls.
Kevlon Anderson and Kevin Sinclair were both back in the dugout in the space of a few deliveries, while Sherfane Rutherford who scored a century in the previous match was caught at long on for 13.
Gudakesh Motie played onto his stumps off of Chemar Holder, but Romario Shepherd joined Imlach to produce 29 runs for the eighth wicket before popping a simple return catch to Kadeem Alleyne.
Guyanese left-arm spinner Akshaya Persaud picked up 2-23, while Rambaran and Mansingh also bagged two wickets, for 27 and 48 respectively.
In the chase, Alleyne returned to put his side in a strong position in hitting 47 from 27 balls. His innings featured five sixes and two fours, and he received support from Rambaran, who was trapped leg before wicket to Motie for 15.
Dowrich and Persaud were the two batsmen at the crease when the match was curtailed.
Sinclair was the pick of the bowlers, taking 3-39 in six overs with his off-spin.
