Ganga, Perkins, Ottley slam hundreds in mid-week T20 shield

Ganga’s hundred was one of three on the day with opener William Perkins and all-rounder Kjorn Ottley also reaching the milestone.

Ganga received good support from West Indies-A selectee Imran Khan. The all-rounder struck five fours and three sixes in 57 from 24 balls.

Explorers, in reply, were dismissed for 105 with little-known fast bowler Rakesh Maharaj taking three for 16 and leg-spinner Khan three for 24.

At Macaulay Park, Perkins continued his rich vein of form in the tournament, when he hit a stroke-filled, even 100 for Wanderers against Caldrac Sports Club.

Perkins collected five fours and 11 sixes from 34 deliveries, as Wanderers scored 259 for eight from their 20 overs.

National all-rounder Navin Stewart made 48 and uncapped Omesh Ramoutar 44.

Caldrac were never in the hunt and were eventually dismissed for 118.

At Inshan Ali Park, Combined Campuses & Colleges all-rounder Kjorn Ottley hit 102 for Preysal Sports against Curepe.

Ottley struck 12 fours and five sixes off 45 balls, and T&T and West Indies wicketkeeper/batsman Denesh Ramdin made 49, as Preysal tallied 232 for six..

Curepe were restricted to 81 for seven in their chase.
