National all-rounder Akshaya Persaud missed out on a century and also took four wickets as Mc Gill Super Stars registered a two-wicket win over Cornelia Ida Cricket Club to reach the final of the West Demerara Cricket Association’s 50 overs competition Sunday.
Rain left Persaud stranded on 98 and his four-wicket haul was not enough to save Cornelia Ida Cricket Club (CI) as McGill Super Stars Sports Club won their President’s Cup semi-final Sunday at the Canal Number Two ground, West Bank Demerara.
With overnight showers hampering the start of play, the contest was reduced to 40 overs a side and CI won the toss and batted, posting 211-5 in 38 overs of the rain interrupted contest.
