A 189-run partnership between Akshaya Persaud and Randall Wilson followed by a four-wicket haul by Sewsaran Sookdeo helped Phoenix Cricket Club to a 53-run win over King’s Men Saturday during the New York National Cricket League’s Cricket Zone T20 Cup.
Phoenix won the toss and batted, posting 189 for one from their 20 overs before limiting King’s Men to 136 for nine in reply.
Wilson struck two sixes and 14 fours during his unbeaten innings of 104 from 74 balls. At the other end, national left-hander, Akshaya Persaud, carved out seven boundaries on his way to a 49-ball 63 before falling off the final delivery of the innings to Oliver Buckle (1-44). The King’s Men bowlers did not help their cause either, gifting 22 extras.
