A superb innings of 161 from Ershaad Ali failed to propel the University of Guyana (UG) past host, Muslim Youth Organisation (MYO) in the latest round of the New Building Society (NBS) Second Division 40 overs tournament, yesterday.
UG, chasing 344 for victory, were dismissed for 292 in the 37th over to hand MYO a 41-run win; their fifth in a row.
The chase, however, was full of fireworks mainly off Ali’s bat. He smashed 20 fours and eight sixes in a virtual one-man show which nearly carried his side over the line. The left-hander was harsh on anything loose as he particularly favoured the long off and mid-wicket region.
