The grand finale of the Selwin’s Super 10 League was played last Sunday at the Belle Vue Community Centre Ground on the West Bank of Demerara between the home team and the V&V All Stars Team.
The victorious V&V All Stars cricket team
Having won the toss and choosing to bat first, Belle Vue posted 181-8 off their 20 overs, in the process showing drastic improvement in their cricket. They did nothing wrong in the batting department, but played with aggression and class combined. And although a few wickets did fall as their innings was coming to an end, they managed to rally through to post a respectable total.
Ryan Seecharran top-scored with 46 (6×4) from 31 balls, and Colin Boucher made 36 (3×4, 3×6) from 15 balls. Good starts also came from Kerwin Bennett (16), Paul Ashby (14), Ravi Prasad (14) and Krishna Singh (12).
Bowling for V&V All Stars, Elvis Shack returned figures of 3-32 off 4 overs, and Anand Bharrat ended on 2-34 off 4 overs.
In reply, V&V All Stars scored 182-6 in 18 overs, shocking Belle Vue with the ease with which they overtook the mammoth total.
The Belle Vue bowlers suffered a proverbial bad day at the office, which enabled the V&V All Stars to go on a rampage from the beginning of their innings, as they embraced the opportunity to score with every wayward delivery they faced.
Yogendra Singh top-scored with 71 (7×4, 4×6), and both Anand Bharrat and B. Bandoo were not-out at the end, with scores of 44 and 25 respectively as they brought home the proverbial bacon.
Bowling for Belle Vue, Randy Ramrup returned figures of 2-27 off 3 overs; Krishna Singh claimed 2-31 off 4 overs; and Paul Ashby and Ryan Seecharran each took a wicket.
