The East Coast Cricket Board (ECCB) Naven’s Construction First Division Competition resumed with a dominant performance from Industry Stars, who defeated Golden Grove Cricket Club (GGCC) by a massive 237 runs at the Lusignan Community Centre Ground.
After winning the toss and choosing to bat, Industry Stars posted an imposing total of 370–9 in their allotted 50 overs. The innings was anchored by a superb century from Brandon Jaikaran, who struck 115 runs to lead the batting effort.
He received solid support from Andy Lall, who contributed 56 runs, while Sachin Sahadeo added 54 to ensure Industry built a formidable total.
Golden Grove’s bowlers struggled to contain the scoring, although a few managed to pick up wickets.
Joseph Leacock claimed two wickets for 98 runs from his 10 overs, while Munish Bachan also took two wickets, conceding 76 runs from nine overs.
Orin Gardiener finished with two wickets for 70 runs in his 10 overs, and Steven Mangal picked up one wicket for 66 runs in his full quota.
Chasing a daunting 371 for victory, GGCC faltered in their reply and were bowled out for 133 in 32.5 overs. Munish Bachan top-scored with 45 runs, while Lennox Andrews chipped in with 18, but the rest of the batting line-up failed to build any meaningful partnerships.
Industry’s bowlers delivered a disciplined performance to seal the comprehensive victory. Aravinda Gainda led the attack with three wickets for 27 runs from five overs, while Ajay Gainda provided excellent support with two wickets for just four runs in three overs.
The commanding win sees Industry Stars restart their campaign in impressive fashion as the East Coast Cricket Board’s Naven’s Construction First Division Competition continues.
