FRESH from success with the Guyana national team in the 2025 Cricket West Indies (CWI) Regional four-day tournament, opener Matthew Nandu blasted an unbeaten 155 to singlehandedly lead Kaieteur International ‘A’ to victory over Naseeb Cricket Club when the Scarborough Cricket Association (SCA) Elite Division continued in Toronto, Canada, last weekend.

Chasing Naseeb’s 237 for seven in 46 overs in the second week of the season at the Ellesmere South ground in Scarborough, Kaieteur International ‘A’ achieved the winning target in 47.3 overs, in the 50-over affair, with the left-handed Nandu slamming 10 fours and six sixes in his brilliant knock.

Nandu, the son of former Guyana and West Indies Under-19 leg-spinner Arjune Nandu, shared in several useful partnerships, including 75 for the second wicket with Kumar Debidayal (29) and an unbeaten 86 with Arjuna Sukhu. So dominant was the latter, Sukhu’s contribution was 15 as Nandu belted Naseeb’s attack to all parts of the Ellesmere ground.
Sarfarz Bhua was Naseeb’s best bowler with three for 43 from 7.3 overs.

Earlier, Naseeb were indebted to middle-order batsman Saeed Sidyot who struck five fours and four sixes in a top score of 68 while Mahammed Sidyot supported with 43 which included two fours and three sixes as Sukhu finished with four for 44 in his 10-over spell.
