Ramlakhan, Dyal, Surat propel Enmore ‘A Team’ to title

2019 SPR Enterprise 40-Over Cricket Competition…

The ‘A Team’ of the Enmore Community Centre Cricket Club (ECCCC) have defeated their counterparts of the Lusignan Sports Club in the final of the 2019 SPR Enterprise 40-Over Cricket Competition, played on Sunday at the Enmore Community Centre Ground.

The Enmore side easily defeated the Lusignan side, who were the 2018 defending champions of this tournament.
Winning the toss and taking first strike, Enmore were able to post 186 all out in 39 overs.
Initially, this total seemed easy for the defending champions to overhaul, but they fell short by 43 runs.
The Enmore batting was led by Vishwanauth Ramlakan, who top-scored with 67 runs made from 32 deliveries. He found it rather easy to score after the two openers had fallen.
The only other Enmore batsman to surpass the 20-run mark was tail-ender Ranjeet Hiralall, who provided assistance to the cause with a well-played 27 that took his side to a respectable total after they had experienced a batting collapse.
Bowling for Lusignan A, Rajpaul Basdeo returned impressive figures of 5-20. He was supported by Rajendra Naikbaran, who returned figures of 2-28; while Azad Mohamed and Kumar Bishundial each bagged one wicket.
Needing a simple score of 187 for victory off 240 balls, the defending champions had a good start; and after their openers were dismissed, number 3 batsman Krishna Deosarran continued the fight with a top-score of 69, while his team mates’ resistance crumbled around him.
However, no other Lusignan batsman was able to make it into double figures, and their innings folded for 143 in just under 39 overs.
The newly crowned champions Enmore were mobbed by ecstatic supporters, who erupted into joyful celebration at their team’s victory.
