OSCL 20-over Regular Season competition: Mandolall slams 142 as Carr Tec whip Ms Phoebe by 105 runs

Former national youth player Rovendra Mandolall slammed a belligerent 142 on Sunday when action in the 2021 Ontario Softball Cricket League (OSCL) 20-over Regular Season competition continued at Dean Park ground in Scarborough.
The right-handed Mandolall hammered 15 sixes and 11 fours as his team, Carr Tec, whipped Miss Phoebe Cricket Club by 105 runs.

Mandolall and ex-Guyana player Eion Katchay put together a steady 102-run second-wicket stand to see their side post a respectable 247-6 off 20 overs, while Miss Phoebe replied with only 142 all out in the 18th over.
Katchay assisted with 25, while Troy Gobin, who also represented Guyana at the under-19 level, was left not out on 21. Ken Ramiah went for 36 runs from his three overs, but was the most outstanding bowler for Miss Phoebe, having taken three wickets.
When Miss Phoebe batted, Ravi Konduparthi offered a fight with 30, and 29 came from Ashok Sridharan, but Ishree Persaud grabbed three wickets for seven runs off three overs to lead Carr Tec’s defence. Prabhu Balkaran and West Indies over-50 player Mohan Harihar were supportive with two wickets each.
The round-robin stage of the tournament was completed too, with Carr emerging the grand champion, having topped the points table with 70 points, inclusive of ten victories from 11 matches; while Mercenary came in second with 69 points, also ten wins from 11 outings.
The playoffs will begin on September 11. No other scores were available.
Meanwhile, Mandolall has joined Ravi Bodo, Amit Arjun and Avinash Sookdeo as the other centurions so far in this year’s season. The Essequibian Mandolall has been a prolific softball batsman over the past two consecutive decades in the OSCL, having already raked up more than 30 centuries.
