Former national youth batsman Omesh Danram yesterday swatted an unbeaten half-century to power the University of Guyana (UG) to a comfortable seven-wicket win over the Malteenoes Sports Club (MSC) in the penultimate round of the New Building Society (NBS) Second Division forty overs tournament. 

  UG, chasing 220 for victory, reached 221 for 3 inside 26 overs with the right-handed Danram slamming eight fours and four maximums in an unbeaten knock of 89 to see his side home.  

  He also shared in a 155 run-stand with Linden Austin, who made 57 inclusive of five fours and a maximum. The pair came together with the score on 55-2 after the loss of Melroy Stephenson (4) and Godfrey Thakurdin (33) and took the game away from MSC.
