In-form Ariel Tilku leads LBI CC to comprehensive victory

FIERY fast bowling by former Demerara Under-19 player, Ariel Tilku, led LBI CC to a convincing 10 wicket victory over rivals, Industry CC, in the East Coast Cricket Board/Navin/Hanson 50-over first division cricket competition.

Played last Sunday at the LBI facility, Tilku ended with 4 wickets for 22 runs in 9 overs with one maiden.
The visitors won the toss, elected to take first strike and crumbled to a meagre 67 all out in 29 of the allotted 45 overs encounter.

Middle-order batter Terrence King reached double figures with 11.
Tilku was supported by A. Mohamed with 3 for 15 off 5 overs, captain Richard Dowlatram 2 for 6 off 6 overs and Romeo Deonarain 1 for 1 off 1 over.

In reply, LBI raced to 72 without loss off 9 overs with former National youth opener Alex Algoo 37 (3×6, 1×4) and senior national player Kemol Savory 21 (1×4).
The tournament will continue this weekend.
