Bravo leads Warriors to massive win in Powerade T20

Batting first, Bamboo All Stars totalled a massive score of 284 runs for the loss of three wickets in their allotted 20 overs. Bravo`s classy innings of 105 runs came off 63 balls including five fours and seven sixes.

The estranged left handed batsman, who last played for West Indies in November 2016, played an assured innings as he started cautiously then exploded to the end by hitting the ball to different parts of the grounds. Adding to the carnage was West Indies all-rounder Kieron Pollard as he bullied the bowling in his explosive innings of 51 runs from 16 balls including six maximums, with four of them off consecutive balls. Miguel Fredrick also chipped in 49 runs from 31 balls. Oba Thomas (1/32) was the best bowler for the Warriors.

Underground Warriors` innings never got going and they could only reach 93 in 13.3 overs. Alden Daniel was the best batsman for the Warriors scoring an even 50 with seven boundaries. Doing the damage with the ball for All Stars were Pollard (3/8) and Amit Dass (2/11).

In a previous match, El Socorro Youth Movement (EYM) held their nerves in the end to win a thrilling encounter by three wickets against Charlieville Same Side.

“Same Side” were inserted to bat after losing the toss and could have only managed 101 after being bowled out with one ball remaining from their 20 overs. Leading runscorer was Terrance Hinds with 25 runs from 15 balls including two sixes and he was assisted by Adrian Ali with 22 runs from nine balls with two maximums.

They struggled throughout their innings but were wrecked by the eventual Man-of-the-Match, medium pacer Keon Isaac (4/13), and left-arm orthodox Selvin Jacobs (3/16), who had the first hat-trick of the tournament.

Requiring 102 for victory should have been easy for EYM but it came down to one run needed of the final ball which was fortunately granted to them by Tariq Abdool after he bowled a wide.

Cousins Kwasi and Aaron Alfred were the main contributors with the bat making 31 runs and 24 runs respectively, while Shakeim Prince chipped in with 19.

Kissoondath Magram made life difficult with his leg spin bowling as he took 4/10, including the second hat-trick of the night with all the wickets being bowled.
