Bel Air Rubis whips Everest by six runs at Bourda

BEL Air Rubis, on the back of a confident 62 from Glenroy Fraser defeated Everest by six runs at GCC ground, Bourda yesterday in the Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA) New Building Society (NBS) 40-overs Second division cricket match yesterday.

In a match reduced to 37 overs due to overnight showers, Bel Air, asked to bat by Everest in cloudy conditions and a good track for batting, reached 182-9 when their overs expired.

Fraser accelerated from a cautious start to hit seven fours and a six in 64 before he was the last wicket to fall.

But only extras which contributed a whopping 51 runs to Bel Air’s total made a meaningful contribution as left-arm pacer Chris Harry bagged 4–43 for Everest who made 174 all out in the penultimate delivery of their innings.

Ariel Tilku top scored with an attractive 40 while opener Rishi Hiralall scored 27and Varun Mangal chipped in with 15 but it was too little too late as the Camp Road team fell six short.
