TORONTO, Canada – Former Guyana and West Indies N team opener Krishna Arjune was in scintillating form here over the weekend. Playing for Hawaiian Arctic Cricket Club (HACC) in the Scarborough Cricket Association (SCA) Premiere League, Arjune slammed a brilliant 132.
Arjune’s knock, which included 13 fours and a six, ensured HACC reached a formidable 284 for six in 47 overs. Tim Reynold and Mathew Francis supported with 30 and 25 respectively.
Opponents Toronto Smashers were dismissed for 204 in 39 overs, going down by 80 runs. Left-arm fast medium bowler Zaheer Allard bagged five for 35 from 10 overs while Royston Crandon claimed two for 52, also from 10.
The win was a welcome one for HACC who had suffered their second defeat for the season the previous weekend.
HACC are aiming for a sixth consecutive championship, having won the SCA Premiere League for the past five seasons.
The reigning champions will be back in action again this weekend when they oppose Highland Creek on Saturday at the Ashtonbee ground and on Sunday they play their last regular season game versus Scarborough Cricket Club at the Ellesemere ground, both in the Scarborough area.
HACC will then be gearing for their playoffs opponents which will be known soon. (Frederick Halley)
