Vincy Premier T10 league Match 13: Bowlers lead La Soufriere Hikers to a brilliant 10 run win
From the brink of defeat, La Soufriere Hikers defeated
Grenadine Divers by 10 runs in the 13th match of the Vincy Premier
T10 league played at Arnos Vale Sporting Complex, St Vincent on Tuesday.
Grenadine Divers captain Asif Hooper won the toss and
decided to field first. It was an ideal start for Divers as the Hooper took
wickets of Salvan Browne and Dillon Douglas in the 1st over itself
to leave Hikers at 2 for 2. Tilron Harry and Dean Browne steadied the innings
for Hikers with 27 runs stand for the 3rd wicket. Hooper struck
again for the 3rd time dismissing Harry. Dean Browne played with positive
intent before being dismissed by Richie Richards.
Casmus Hackshaw and Desron Maloney helped Hikers' side to
recover from a difficult situation. Both added unbeaten 54 runs for the 5th
wicket. Hikers posted 98 for 4 at the end of 10 overs. For Divers, Hooper was
the pick of the bowlers with 3 for 19. Hackshaw remained not out on 28 off 23
balls while Maloney made 27 off 18 balls.
Chasing 99 runs to win, it was not an ideal start for Divers
as they lost an early wicket of Shem Browne in the 1st over. Alex
Samuel came to the crease and was dropped by the fielder at third man. After
the dropped chance, he took the advantage and put the Hikers bowlers under
pressure. On the other hand, Asif Hooper gave him full support. With things
looking control for Divers, Jeremy Haywood got the breakthrough dismissing
Hooper for 12. Hooper and Samuel added 67 runs for the 2nd wicket. Samuel
reached his fifty off 23 balls. Romano Pierre looked out of sorts as he was
struggling for timing.
With 16 runs required to win off 2 overs, Kimson Dalzell
bowled a stunning over giving away just 4 runs and picking the important wicket
of Alex Samuels. Kenson Dalzell kept his nerves to help Hikers win the match by
10 runs.
With this win, La Soufriere Hikers won their fourth match of
the tournament.
