NATIONAL cricketer Jonathan Foo blasted his way to an unbeaten ton and the Galaxy Cricket Club to a 50-run victory over Demolition Cricket Club, when action continued recently in the New York National Cricket League, Rockaway Group T20 Cup in New York.
The hard-hitting batsman was initially watchful at the crease after his team won the toss and opted to bat, but as he settled he went into an all-out attack mode.
He blasted four sixes and 15 fours from 79 balls for a top score of 123. He and fellow opening batsman Keeram Krishna made batting look easy, as they piled on 184 before Krishna retired hurt at the end of the penultimate over. Krishna’s innings of 56 from 38 balls, included eight fours and a six.
Foo, who scored 11 of the 13 runs in the last over, then helped to push Galaxy’s total to 197-1.
In reply, Demolition batted relatively well but fell short at 147-8.
Seven bowlers, including Foo and Krishna picked up a wicket each for the winners.
