Malteenoes All Stars bowed out in the semi-finals of the UWI Unicom T20 cricket tournament.

THE Malteenoes All Stars ended their run in the University of the West Indies (UWI) Unicom T20 cricket tournament after falling to the Queen’s Park Cricket Club by 55 runs on Friday evening, in semi-final one at the Sir Frank Worrell Cricket ground at UWI-SPEC in Trinidad.

The Guyanese team won the toss and opted to bowl first, but the home team was up to the task.

Several of their batsmen had starts, which propelled them to 160-7 in their allotted overs.

Tion Webster and Nicholas Alexis led the attack with 37 (from 26 balls) and 35 (from 21 balls) respectively, while Justin Guillen finished with 25 runs from 19 balls.

Left arm spinner Anthony Adams was the pick of the visiting bowlers. He grabbed 3-34, while Quintin Sampson took 2-31 from three overs.

In the chase, Trevon Griffith scored 23 runs from 12 balls, while Raj Nannan finished with 17 runs from 20 balls, but overall, the Guyanese batsmen had little answer for Christopher Vincent and Jon Russ Jaggessar, who combined for seven wickets, which helped to restrict Malteenoes All Stars to 105 in 17.1 overs.

Man-of-the-match Vincent took 4-25 from four overs, while Jaggessar took 3-21.  Support came from Dexter Sween who finished with 2-36 from four overs.
