A good crowd was on hand to witness the T&T Cricket Board T20 clash between PowerGen Sports and BFL Sports at Caldrac’s in California and got great entertainment.
BFL Sports going into the game as underdogs lifted their heads high and posted 167 for nine wickets in their allotted 20 overs. Leading the way for them was Guyanese Royston Crandon who got an aggressive 46 and Raj Nanan who scored an even half century. They had to face the likes of Windies player Samuel Badree who ended up with 2/25 in his four overs. Also bowling well was Teshawn Castro who nabbed two wickets for 22 runs.
In response, PowerGen motored to the target with eight balls to spare and their young batsmen played with flair. Akiel Cooper struck an unbeaten 32, while Mark Deyal made 30 and Red Force batsman Ewart
Nicholson 29. Crandon tried his best in collecting 2/29, while Nanan took 2/18 but it was too little as PowerGen ran away with a five-wicket win.
