Nandu’s 75 spurs Kaieteur CC to easy win over Canadian Eagles

Matthew Nandu continued with his outstanding batting form in Canada as last Saturday he scored an impressive 75 to help Kaieteur Cricket Club beat Canadian Eagles by 130 runs in the continuation of the Brampton-Etobicoke and District Cricket League Premier Conference B 50-over competition at Laurel Creek Ground, Waterloo, Ontario.

In recent times, the Guyana and West Indies youth player has scored a century and several half-centuries. In this match, the left-handed Nandu hit six fours and a six in his 75-run 78-ball knock as Kaieteur rattled up 252-8 from 50 overs while Canadian Eagles responded with 122 all out off 25.1 overs. Apart from Nandu’s half-century, Mahendra Jaipersaud scored 51 while Miguel Nandu (his cousin) also made an impact with the bat by contributing 47. Off-spinner Pritipaul Sandhu grabbed four wickets for 48 runs from nine overs.
In Eagles’ innings, Prampreet Sandhu offered a fight with 42 runs as leg-spinner Marcel Nandu, another cousin of Matthew, claimed four wickets for 31 runs from 6.1 overs while Parvesh Jhappan was supportive with 2-30 in his five-over outing. Matthew is the son of former Guyana Under-19 Captain and First-Class player Arjune Nandu. Matthew played for West Indies at this year’s International Cricket Council Youth World Cup that took place in the Caribbean.
The competition is set to continue on Saturday.
