A BRILLIANT undefeated 84 by Fayyaz Hanif, son of former Guyana National wicketkeeper Azib Ali Hanif, failed to earn victory for the Ontario Cricket Academy (OCA) Under-14 team over Super Star Colts, when the Toronto & District Cricket Association (T&DCA) Juniors Under-14 league continued recently at Thackery Park, Toronto, Canada.

The 13-year-old opener struck 14 fours in a dominant knock and got little support from his teammates with the next highest score being 18.
Led by an attacking 68 from opener Dharm Patel who hammered 10 fours and three sixes in 68 off just 20 balls and 37 from Jaison Koshal whose 37 included four fours and two sixes off 15 balls, Super Star Colts reached the required target in 12.3 overs to earn an emphatic victory.

The elder Hanif, who played 11 matches for Guyana between 1998 and 2002 and has been prolific in the softball arena recently, expressed delight in his son’s performance.
