DCB U-17: Seecharran hits match-winning 89*; 10-wkt win for Georgetown

[Newsram]

Lomar Seecharran continued to stamp his name on the ongoing Demerara Cricket Board (DCB) Inter-Association Under-17, 50-over competition, while Georgetown extended its unbeaten run with a commanding win in the fourth and penultimate round on Sunday. At the LBI ground, the left-handed Seecharran stroked a match-winning 89 not out, an innings that included 13 fours to lead Upper Demerara to a six-wicket win, chasing 163. Seecharran’s second fifty of the tournament allowed Upper Demerara to achieve victory in 34.5 of the allotted 35 overs after rain forced a reduction in the overs. It was Upper Demerara’s first win of the competition. Nathan Bishop followed up his unbeaten 54 in the last game with 30 (3x4s), as Joshua Bhudram took 2-26 (6.5 overs) and Navindra Singh 1-16 (7) for East Bank. East Bank’s 162-6 was built on 39 each from Shane Shivbarran (4x4s) and Vinesh Kalpoo (2x4s, 3x6s), but that total could not inspire victory, and they have now lost all three games. Andy Ramgolam with 2-25 (3) and Nicholas Simon with 2-35 (4) were the top bowlers for Upper Demerara, with Seecharran and Rusco Anderson picking up one each.

Set a small target of 70, Georgetown raced to the win in 9.2 overs with Danvir Seegobin unbeaten on 36 (5x4s, 2x6s) and Kishawn Silas not out on 28 (4x4s). Dave Mohabir, with splendid figures of 4-3 off five overs, and Emmanuel Lewis with 3-17 off four overs had combined to dismiss East Coast for 69 in 19.2 overs. Kaylon Calendar and Stephon Seymour picked up a wicket each. Yannick Newton with 23 (1×4, 1×6) and Marcel Nandu 13 (2x4s) were the leading scorers for East Coast, who have completed their four matches and are third on the table with two wins and two losses. The final round is slated for Tuesday (March 11) with Georgetown and Upper Demerara squaring off at Transport and West Demerara having home advantage against East Bank at Meten-Meer-Zorg. All matches will start at 09:30h. The post DCB U-17: Seecharran hits match-winning 89*; 10-wkt win for Georgetown appeared first on News Room Guyana.
