Ontario Softball Cricket League 2021: Essequibo Coast Cricket Club in comfortable 7-wicket win over Bacchus Ruff Ryders

– Ramnauth scores 48 not out

Former national youth player Devon Ramnauth hit a responsible, unbeaten 48 to lead the Essequibo Coast Cricket Club to a comfortable seven-wicket win over the Bacchus Ruff Ryders last Saturday in the Ontario Softball Cricket League (OSCL) 20-over competition.
Playing at Dean Park in Toronto, the right-handed Ramnauth struck three sixes and two fours as Essequibo Coast chased down the Ruff Ryders’ challenging score of 120-6.

Ramnauth received useful support from former youth cricketer Dillon Heyliger, who produced a cameo 20, while Davo Ramsawak and Ravendra Madholall contributed 19 not out and 15 respectively.
When the Ruff Ryders batted, opener Azhadeen Amidon hit a top-score of 32, while Heyliger, who has also represented Canada internationally, proved his all-round capability by claiming 2-14 off his four overs.
However, on Sunday, Essequibo Coast tasted their first defeat of the season when they suffered a six-wicket whipping at the hands of Carr Tec at Ashtonbee Park in Toronto.
Essequibo Coast managed to post an inadequate 73 all out, while Carr Tec, in reply, reached 74-4 in the 12th over.
Former Guyana under-19 player Yoodhanlall Suklall grabbed 4-15 off his four overs, and was brilliantly supported by Gavin Glasgow, who snatched 3-12 in his four overs, delivering for the victorious side.
Former youth player Rovendra Mandolall contributed 33 not out to the Carr Tech total.
Essequibo Coast has now recorded three wins from four outings. The competition will resume on August 7, after a break for two consecutive weeks.
