Sunrise out front in BAS cricket

Rain last Sunday affected the five Superleague matches in the BAS Penal Sports Association cricket series. As a result all matches ended in stalemates.

This left Sunrise Sports at the top of the standings with 32 points from three completed rounds. They won on first innings over San Francique United at Penal. Varma Boodoosingh grabbed seven wickets for 80 runs  to bundle out San Francique for 155. Andrew Yorke, with an unbeaten 102, then spurred on Sunrise to 202 for five and first innings points. In second place are Renegades with 28 points although they suffered a first innings loss to Rochard Road. Their first innings effort of 159 was not enough for Rochard Road who raced to 245 for eight.

Commonwealth, who had a bright start to the season, also won on first innings over Sunrees Road United. Kumar Sudama with an unbeaten 69 piloted Comm-onwealth to 183 for six and Sunrees then fell for just 147. UpTen Sports ended the round with 26 points — six short of the leaders after their first innings victory over Apollo Sports. Apollo just avoided defeat making 99 and 45 for four in response to 171 for six declared by UpTen. Andre Balgar scored 107 not out for UpTen.
