Guyanese helps Canadian cricket club snap losing streak

Professional cricketer Elton Baker, who is currently in Canada representing Civics Sports Club, was outstanding with bat and ball in his team’s recent victory over Sheridan Sports Club.
Playing at King City Ground on Sunday, the talented right-handed batsman secured the win with an unbeaten 84 after leading the bowling attack with figures of 3-40 from nine overs of medium fast bowling.

Opting to take first strike, Sheridan were restricted to 182 in 50 overs, with Araf Haza (42) being the leading scorer.
In reply, Civics comfortably reached 184-3 in 40 overs to achieve a comprehensive victory. Baker and Krishna Deosarran (52) added 73 runs in the deciding partnership.
The fifty was Baker’s second in as many matches, after making 54 in his first game of the season.
The win snapped the Civics’ four-game losing streak. The season is young and with 11 more games to go in the preliminaries, Civics can still make it to the playoffs.
