The Lusignan Sports Club was crowned champions of the Suriname Cricket Board 15-over tournament over the last weekend.
The tournament was played over two days with four teams, namely the Suriname National Team, Lusignan Sports Club, Silver Bullet, and Young Rivals, at the Dr Snelle Ground in Paramaribo.
Lusignan Sports Club faced Young Rivals in the very exciting and much-anticipated finals.
Skipper of Lusignan Sports Club, Suresh Dhanai, won the toss and, without hesitation, decided to bowl first.
Young Rivals got off to a flyer in the first over, with Tyrell Peters favouring the leg-side boundaries, smashing Neeran Bani for a few maximums. However, he departed in the very second over of the game, caught at long on by Chanderpaul Ramraj.
The very talented Afri Afzal Kadir then spent some time at the crease, hitting a few maximums to keep the scoring rate very healthy.
He was removed by Suresh Dhanai and caught by Anil Singh at the long-off position. The next batter, Kevin Kisten, was removed on the very next ball, caught by Myhiem Khan at the square leg position. Ramnarine Chatura denied Suresh Dhanai a hat trick.
Young Rivals never recovered and eventually finished at 99-7 in their allotment of 15 overs. Dhanai ended with match figures of four wickets for nine runs from three overs.
Lusignan Sports Club raced to the target in as little as nine overs, with Robin Williams smashing the bowlers out of the ground on many occasions. He ended unbeaten on 52.
