Shem Browne hit 16 sixes and 3 fours, in a knock of 125, as Owia Shottaz powered their way to 270 for 6, off their 20 overs, against Sunset Strikers in the National Lotteries Authority Top Belair Progressive Organisation 20/20 Softball Cricket Competition, last Sunday.{{more}}

Aiding Browne’s onslaught was Jimmy Lavia who scored 52, which included 7 sixes. Carlton Baptiste took 2 for 22, bowling for Sunset Strikers.

In reply, Sunset Strikers was dismissed for a paltry 26, as Osbourne Lavia 3 for 17, Troy Harry 3 for 9, and Lesborn Lavia 2 for 0, ensured an easy victory.

But Owia Shottaz could not repeat their performance as they were humbled by Ken’s Plumbing and Associates Simple Boys.

Owia batted first and reached 88 for 7 off their 20 overs. Ziggy Baptiste was the topscorer with 18. Troy Harry chipped in with 14. Travis Cumberbatch took 3 for 15.

Simple Boys reached 86 for 5 in 14.4 overs. Desron Maloney 19 and Vernardo Primus 16 not out, led the charge for Simple Boys’ reply.

Also recording a win was Nar Fren Dem over Young Strikers.

Nar Fren Dem got to 82 in 18 overs. Dillon Matthias scored 19. Eversley Mc Coy 4 for 19, Desron Lavia 2 for 7, and Roger Thomas 2 for 13, were the main wicket takers for Young Strikers.

At their turn at the crease, Young Strikes was stopped at 54, to lose by 28 runs.

Krishna DaSilva 3 for 14, Gary Matthews 3 for 9 and Kenford Collins 2 for 9, bowled Nar Fren Dem to their win.

But, it was easier for Gomea Bombers, who won by default over BEDCO and for Under Dogs, likewise over East Bank, who also failed to show up at the Dauphine Playing Field. (RT)
