Flames burn Powerplay in Savannah cricket

FLAMES roasted Powerplay in the Caribbean Glass-sponsored Savannah Boys Windball Cricket League to move one step closer to the finals. After posting a total of 134 for three wickets, with Hospedales Singh hitting 52 and Suren Sagewan, 45, Powerplay were routed for a paltry 38, falling nine runs short of becoming the first team in the league to score 1,000 runs. Vinoo Maharaj captured two wickets for three runs, Fareed Karim got two for nine and Verendra Maharaj had two for ten in the rout. Also at the weekend, Group leaders Dundee United stumbled to the lowest total in the league when they were bowled out for a meagre 35 runs, as Paradigm who totalled 92 for nine wickets, won by 57 runs.

But Anthrax climbed to the top of Group Four with an emphatic six-wicket victory over Hott 93 Slammers. The “Radio Boys” managed 128 for eight in their knock, led by Martin Ramkissoon 26 and V Ramcharan 28 not out. But in their turn Shazam Hosein continued his assault on all bowlers, slamming an unbeaten 88 as Anthrax reached 132 for four.
