Malteenoes Sports Club (MSC) thrashed Transport by an innings and 118 runs when the Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA) sanctioned GISE/Trophy Stall/Star Party Rentals 1st Division 2-day League continued yesterday.
Played at their home ground, Malteenoes were sent into bat after Transport won the toss and blasted their way to 353/8 from 69.5 overs before declaring on Saturday afternoon just after tea. The highlight of the Malteenoes innings was Jeremiah Scott’s 171 from just 160 deliveries, while experienced all-rounder Shaquille Williams had a solid knock of 62 (97 balls).
The duo shared a fourth-inning stand of 142 runs to take their side from 30/3 to 172 before Williams lobbed a return catch to Riyad Latif to end his stay at the crease. Another experienced head, Marcus Watkins, then joined Scott but was forced to retire hurt after copping a blow to his face while attempting a sweep shot.
