TORONTO – Dant made light work of opponents Rems to capture the Ontario Softball Cricket League (OSCL) 10/10 tournament which climaxed last Saturday at the Ashtonbee ground, Scarborough.Starting as firm favourites, Dant did not disappoint their fans as they piled up 92 for seven in their allotted 10 overs and limited Rems to a paltry 52 for nine to win by 40 runs.
Former Guyana youth player Frank Hussain led the way with a top score of 30 after Dant were struggling at 40 for six in the sixth over. Riaz Kadir supported with a quick-fire unbeaten 20.
Rems, who were missing the services of their ace batsman Rovendra Madholall, were never in the hunt and succumbed to the bowling of Bholanauth Sukhu who grabbed four for 10 from his two overs while there were two wickets each for Satrohan Balkarran and Shaun Deonandan,
This year marked the second since the introduction of the 10/10 tournament by the OSCL with Better Hope carting off the inaugural competition.
Meanwhile, East Coast also trounced Cougars by 58 runs in the Consolation final. Led by unbeaten knocks of 63 from Surujpaul Deosarran and 43 from Eion Katchay, East Coast piled up a challenging 124 without loss in their allotted 10 overs.
Cougars were limited to 66 all out in the final over with Rakesh Dyal claiming three for four and Krishna Deosarran two for nine.
Dant will be seeking their second championship when they clash with Better Hope in the 15/15 final set for the same venue on Sunday.
