by

20140521

De­spite 83 from Cen­tral bats­man Crys­t­ian Thur­ton yes­ter­day, East eas­i­ly won by 141 runs at the Bam­boo Recre­ation Ground to ad­vance to the fi­nal of the BG T&T Un­der-15 In­ter­zone two-day tour­na­ment.

Chas­ing an im­pos­ing 281 for vic­to­ry in 42 overs, Cen­tral need­ed some­one to step up to the plate. Right-hand­ed Thur­ton, who rep­re­sent­ed the na­tion­al Un­der-15 team last year, showed his class, but did not get enough help. Cen­tral was dis­missed for 141 in 39.4 overs, with Nathaniel Mc­David tak­ing 4/38 and Ka­reem Mu­radali grab­bing 3/15.

Ear­li­er in the day, Kallicha­ran again top scored for East, hit­ting 70 to lead the team to 202/8 in the sec­ond in­nings off 42 overs. On Tues­day Kallicha­ran struck 86 in the first in­nings. Mc­David pitched in with 44, while Bran­don Ali tried his best to con­tain the East bats­men, snatch­ing 3/25.

At San­cho Recre­ation Ground, Princes Town, South-East booked a spot in the fi­nal with a 67-run win over North. South-East did not bat as well in the sec­ond in­nings, get­ting to 118/9 of its 41 overs. How­ev­er, this gave South-East an over­all lead of 194 runs. Coop­er, who made an un­beat­en 81 in the first in­nings, top scored again for South-East with 35. Bran­don Maraj con­tributed 22, while Michael Am­bard was the pick of the bowlers tak­ing 4/22.

Chas­ing a com­pet­i­tive 195 for vic­to­ry in 41 overs, North could on­ly get 127/6. Narvin Be­daise was left un­beat­en on 47 and Kevon Surzano struck 22. For South-East, Avinash Roop­nar­ine (1/21), Avinash Ma­habirs­ingh (1/15) and Justin Gan­goo (1/24) all grabbed one wick­et each.

East and South-East will play in the fi­nal on June 3 and 4 at the Na­tion­al Crick­et Cen­tre in Bal­main, Cou­va.
