After losing the game against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625) Americas Region Division One Twenty20 tournament.
After winning the toss, the Cayman Islands decided to field first at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill, Florida, hoping to restrain the opposition to a meagre tally.
While Argentina, who also lost yesterday’s match against Suriname by five wickets, were hoping to find redemption in this game as the opening batsmen walked to the middle.
The openers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hernan-Williams-c63093, provided a decent start as they clobbered 32 runs in the opening partnership in eight overs. Cayman, who are looking like a formidable side in the tournament, were still not out of the match as they halted
the opening pair’s onslaught by grabbing the wicket of Hernan Williams when Argentina’s medium pacer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Troy-Taylor-c94436 shattered that batsman’s wickets after he had scored 11 runs off 21 deliveries with a strike rate of 52.38.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Argentina-c2841’s middle-order has been extremely vulnerable in the proceeding tournament and this was once again evident when the number three batsman, Benjamin Precious, failed to capitalize on the perfect opening stand provided by the batsmen, as he lost his
wicket after scoring a run, when he was adjudged leg-before-wicket off a delivery that rammed right into his pads.
The 33-year-old Gary http://www.senore.com/Cricket/John-Scholes-Savage-c68692 then came on the field to provide some resistance against the Cayman bowlers, who had their tails up, and were eagerly anticipating another wicket; however, Savage, alongside Ferguson, managed to prevent another wicket from
falling until the 11th over, when Ferguson was run out after scoring 21 runs off 35 deliveries. At the time of his departure Argentina had managed to post 42 runs on the board for the loss of three wickets.
Wicketkeeper batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Alejandro-Ferguson-c43097, failed yet against as he was dismissed after scoring 7 runs when he was bowled by Morris odd a sensational delivery, which clearly beat the batsman as it rammed into the stumps.
Savage then went back as he was adjudged leg-before-wicket on an unplayable delivery bowled by Morris, after the batsman had scored 12 runs off 25 deliveries.
It was then the 41-year-old http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Donald-Forrester-c54391, who clobbered another fine innings of 22 runs off 19 deliveries as he helped his side post a meagre total of 90 runs on the board in their 20 overs.
In yesterday’s game against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Suriname-c3013 he was the highest scorer from his side with 15 runs, and in this game, he yet again scored the maximum number of runs for his side by remaining unbeaten at the end of Argentina’s innings.
Needing 91 to win, Suriname had a nervous start as the openers lost their wickets early on, giving Argentina a glimmer of hope to take a win from this game. Opening batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ramon-Anthony-Sealy-c83888, after scoring five runs, lost his wicket in the fourth over
when pacer Benjamin Precious clean bowled him.
On the last delivery of the fifth over, opener Zachary McLaughlin also lost his wicket after scoring 10 runs, when he had his stumps uprooted by Savage.
However, unlike Argentina, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Steve-Constantine-Gordon-c91250 clobbered a sensational innings of 22 runs, helping his side reach closer to victory as he pulverised the Argentinean offensive by taking
on the bowlers and smacking them all around the park.
Pearson Ignatius Best, alongside Gordon, took the opposition apart by playing magnificent shots, impressing the spectators who had gathered to watch the match.
In the 17th over, Best was removed by Tissera when P Ferguson took a splendid catch after the batsman had scored 17 runs. In the next over Gordon also lost his wicket when Tissera took his catch off the bowling of Fennell. At the time of his departure
the side had scored 75 runs.
Later http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Abali-Hoilett-c41486 and Bazil took their side to victory as Cayman Islands scored 93 runs. SC Gordon from Cayman Islands was named as the Man of the Match.
