Thomas, Dalrymple power MSC to victory

At the Police Sports Club Ground, Malteenoes Sports Club (MSC) Warriors delivered a commanding performance to defeat Police Academy All-Stars in the Sherwin Williams second Division T/20 Cup, piling up a massive total before sealing a comprehensive victory.

After winning the toss, MSC opted to bat first, a decision that paid rich dividends as they powered their way to an imposing 219–9 in their allotted 20 overs.
Leading the charge was Jonte Thomas, who produced a scintillating knock of 79, punctuated by seven fours and five towering sixes. Thomas set the tone early, attacking the Police Academy bowlers and keeping the scoreboard ticking at a brisk pace.
He received solid support from Colis Rimple, who contributed 32, and Adrian Hinds, who struck 32 in an entertaining innings that included three sixes and two fours. The middle-order contributions ensured MSC maintained momentum throughout the innings, consistently finding boundaries and capitalising on loose deliveries.
Despite the onslaught, the Police Academy found some resistance through D Grant Stuart, who returned impressive figures of 3–29 from his four overs. K Leitch also bowled economically, claiming 2–24 in his full quota, but the target had already ballooned beyond comfortable reach.

Chasing a daunting 220 for victory, Police Academy All Star never truly found the acceleration needed. They closed on 129-9 in their 20 overs, falling well short of the target.
P Singh offered some resistance with 34, striking three fours and two sixes, while R Budhram chipped in with 25, including four boundaries. However, regular wickets stifled any hopes of a sustained partnership.
The star with the ball for MSC was Delon Dalrymple, who delivered a match-winning spell of 4-17 from four overs. His disciplined lines and variations proved too much for the Police batsmen, as MSC maintained pressure throughout the innings.
MSC’s all-round dominance, highlighted by explosive batting and disciplined bowling, secured them a convincing 90-run victory. The Warriors’ commanding display sends a strong message to the rest of the competition as the Sherwin Williams second Division T/20 Cup continues.
