Heyliger snatches 5-wicket haul in Toronto cricket

Former Guyana youth cricketer Dillon Heyliger produced a fine bowling performance for JB Masters last Saturday in the continuation of the Toronto and District Cricket Association (T&DCA) Elite 50-over Super9 competition at King City Ground, Toronto.

The right-arm medium pacer snatched five wickets for 13 runs from eight impressive overs as Victoria Park were dashed out for 89 in the 40th over. They were in pursuit of JB Masters’ formidable 302-8 from the full quota of 50 overs.
Heyliger, who also represented Canada and played for Montreal Tigers in the inaugural Global T20 Canada several weeks ago, scored 32 not out as well to complement a memorable all-round display.
In other outstanding batting performances for JB Masters, Nikhill Dutta made 75 while Teshowon Castro slammed 74 and skipper Zaad Bin Zafar stroked 58.
Spinner Harjeet Singh grabbed three wickets for 57 runs from 10 overs bowling for Victoria Park.
When Victoria Park batted, only skipper Yug Rao offered any sort of fight with 23. The Essequibian Heyliger was supported by Trinidad-born Mahadeo Moonasar, who accounted for two victims, conceding eight runs from 8.2 overs.
Meanwhile, the competition continues this weekend. JB Masters have so far played in nine matches and picked up seven victories. One game was rained out while they suffered their only defeat against the unbeaten Vikings Cricket Club. (Ravi Madholall)
