Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) romped to a six-wicket win over Malteenoes Sports Club on Sunday at the Eve Leary Ground in the Georgetown Cricket Association Noble House Seafoods Generation Next Under-19 tournament.
GCC won the toss and invited Malteenoes to bat who posted 200-9 in their 50 overs after the contest was reduced from a 55-45 over affair to 50-40 overs. GCC then replied with 201-4 in 37.4 overs.
Malteenoes were indebted to important cameos from the middle order including Akeem Critchlow and Shamar Yearwood who shared in a 54-run second wicket stand. Critchlow’s 33-ball 26 was foiled by a direct hit from Mavindra Dindyal while Yearwood’s patient knock of 21 from 57 balls ended when he was bowled by Dindyal.
