FORMER Zeeburg Sports Club cricketer, Yutesh Dhanpaul, exploded with 191 runs to lead Phoenix Cricket Club to a 353-run victory when they met Intruders (a predominantly Trinidadian side) in the Lax Network Queen DBA Dunkin 40-over League.

The middle-order batter was in a no-nonsense mood as he belted an amazing 20 sixes and 11 fours off 100 balls for the colossal score.
Former Essequibo cricketer, Brandon Cabose, also delivered some big shots, inclusive of nine sixes and two fours to finish with 76 runs from 37 balls.

Tejpaul Bishundat (47), Matthew Marques (32) and Dino Chooweenam (30) all had starts, which helped to push the total to a massive 442-6 from 40 overs for the predominantly Guyanese side.
The total was the highest ever recorded in the league.

Although he went for over 10 runs per over, Kinopaul Sailsman with 3-52, was the pick of Intruders’ bowlers.
In total, they used nine bowlers in vain in their attempt to stop the haemorrhaging.

In their turn at the crease, Intruders buckled in the chase and, with medium pacer Samuel Mahabir cleaning up the middle order and fast bowler Kenly Adams and left-arm orthodox spinner Sharma Sukhdeo also doing damage, they succumbed for 89 in 21.3 overs.

Mahabir finished with 4-29 from six overs, while opening bowler Adams dismissed both openers in his spell of 2-16 from five overs.
Sukhdeo, the owner of the club, needed just 1.3 overs to take 2-10.
