Massacre at Bourda as Wade & Dindyal hit tons; GDF beat GNIC at Everest

It was a massacre at Bourda, as the home team amassed an imposing 461-4 and collected an additional 20 penalty points because Everest failed to complete their 50 overs in the allotted time.
They then dismissed Everest for 103 to win their GCA Pepsi 50-over First-division encounter by 378 runs.

Wade, dropped thrice, hit 13 fours and 11 sixes from 118 balls in his 183 and shared in a 241-stand with teenager Mavindra Dindyal after Navindra Persaud (17) was removed by left-arm spinner Javid Rasheed at 72-1.

Dindyal followed up his 117 against DCC with a second consecutive ton; scoring 132 with 12 fours and five sixes from 105 balls on a track with some bounce and a parched outfield.
Ronaldo Ali-Mohamed then hit two fours and 11 sixes in a destructive 25-ball 79 as GCC registered their highest total in a 50-over game.

Wade hit sixes for fun in brutal exhibition of power hitting while the elegant Dindyal played several imperious cover drives as the West Indies U-19 batter played the supporting role.
The 100 came up in 21 overs while the 200 was posted in 33 overs.

The second wicket partnership continued to flourish with Wade being the butcher and Dindyal being the surgeon as the runs flowed.
Wade galloped to his maiden century from 83 balls while Dindyal reached his ton from 92 balls.

It rained sixes as Wade, built like a light heavyweight boxer, decimated the depleted attack, missing Pestano, Paul, Motie, Sinclair, Joseph and Looknauth.
The 300 was posted in 40 overs before Wade, hoping to join Azemul Haniff (234) as GCC’s last batter to score a double hundred in a 50-over game, was bowled by Rasheed before Dindyal skied a catch to the Keeper to leave GCC on 365-3.

Ali Mohamed deposited spinner Steven Mangal for 2 sixes in an over before racing to his fifty from just 18 balls.
He them clobbered Denise Mangal for consecutive sixes in the final over to bring up the 450 before being caught at long-off.
Rasheed had 2-52 for Everest who were bowled out for 103 in 20 overs despite an attractive 45 with three fours and four sixes from Ushardev Balgobin.

But only Varun Mangal (12) of the other batters reached double figures for the Camp Road team as Devon Lord (3-6), Aryan Persaud (3-31) and Laurel Parks (2-27) took the wickets for GCC.
Meanwhile, at Everest, GDF defeated GNIC by six wickets after scoring 184-4 in 28.5 overs in reply to the 183 all out made by GNIC in 44.4 overs.

Ovid Richardson continued his good form with 55 from 71 balls with six fours and a six before he fell to Delshawn McDonald but only Jason George, who scored 43 from 36 balls with three fours and two sixes and Javin Collins, who made19, reached double figures.

Joshua Jones (3-33), Keith Sampson (2-22) and McDonald (2-26) were the main wicket takers for the soldiers.
Quincy McPherson scored an entertaining 20-ball 65 with five fours and three sixes while Damion Waldron made an unbeaten 38, Keith Simpson scored 21 and Raquel Reddy with 19 not out saw GDF to victory with 21.1 overs to spare.
