Visitors win 2nd match with win over DCC

By Sean Devers
A CLASSY 41 with seven boundaries from 56 balls from Pranner Chattipalayam spurred the visiting USA Tri U-19 team to their second consecutive win when they beat DCC on Saturday at the DCC Ground, in Queenstown, by six wickets.

DCC, without their leading U-19 Batter Shamar Yearwood, reached 154-9, when their 50 overs expired on the small ground, with Jaydon Dowlin, the son of West Indies Test batter, scoring a carefully constructed 65 from 108 balls, with seven fours and a six.

But only Number 10 batter, Lerone Allicock, with 22, and Jaden Campbell (18) offered any resistance to the American bowlers.

Aditya Gupta had 3-33, and Tanmay Joshi, who supported with 2-7 for the USA unit, made 157-4 in 32.1 overs.

Siddarth Kappa, who, like Chattipalayam, scored a century in the first game against Everest, made an unbeaten 29 from 45 balls, with four boundaries, while Aditya Gupta scored 22.
Bowling for DCC, Ricardo Percival, the son of former West Indies U-19 Captain Andrew Percival, picked up 3-34.

The tourists play their next game today at Everest, before facing a GCA X1 under lights at DCC on Thursday.
