One run victory for Savannah Boys

MAGIC SAVANNAH BOYS pulled off an exciting one-run victory over United Progressors with two balls to spare, in action in the Motor and General Insurance Company/Caribbean Glass Windball Tournament. Batting first, Savannah Boys reached 90 off their allotted 15 overs with Suresh Heera topscoring with 18 and Rishi Rambharose contributing 12. United Progressors made a spirited reply and needed seven runs off  the final over for victory. But fine bowling backed up by some exceptional fielding saw the Savannah Boys restrict them, and hang on for a nail-biting win. In another thrilling game, national cricketer Dave “Tadpole” Mohammed fell three runs short of what would have been  the first century of the tournament. Playing for Xtermina-tors against Eastern Division  Police, Mohammed blasted five fours and 10 sixes in his knock. Eastern Division Police rattled up 188 off their 15 overs, and despite Mohammed’s heroics, Xterminators failed in their run chase, reaching 150 for six wickets when overs ran out.
