Cayman Island won its ICC World Cricket League Division four clash against Argentina by five wickets at the Ovale di Rastignano, Pianoro on Monday 16th August. Chasing Argentina’s below par 50-overs total of 160 for 8, Cayman Island was led by the half centuries of Pearson Best and Ryan Bovell, as the side set an easy 5-wicket victory in just 33 overs.
Disciplined bowling performance well complimented by quick fielding restricted the Argentina batting line up to a meagre total of 160 for 8. On the day when most of batsmen of Argentina were off-colour, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ronald-Ebanks-c86700’ 30 runs bagged Cayman Island an easy five wickets win with 17 overs to spare.
The captain of Cayman Island, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saheed-Mohamed-c87931, after winning the toss put Argentina into bat first. The opening pair of Argentina featuring Matias Paterlini and Pablo Ferguson could add only 4 runs to the team’s total before a short ball of Conroy Wright got the edge of Matias Paterlini and was caught safely by the wicketkeeper, Ramon Sealy behind the stumps. Paterlini’s 4 runs off 10 balls came through the single boundary he struck to Wright in the opening over of the game.
Ferguson, despite losing his opening partner quite early, continued his game unwearyingly. Ferguson and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tomas-Francis-c94216 had a share of only four runs from the later before the partnership was broken by a careless run out of Francis on Kavin Bazil’s throw.
Francis’ departure brought Gary Savage to the crease and in partnership with Pablo Ferguson; the duo played a succession of sweet shots to drag the side towards a respectable score. A flurry of sweetly-timed boundaries put the side on a recovery track easing the nerves of Argentina. Both the players shared a half-century partnership for the fourth wicket partnership taking the side from 51 for 3 to 107 for 3. The partnership was worth 57 when Ryan Bovell broke it having Gary Savage caught by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Alessandro-Morris-c43104. Savage scored 33 runs after facing 45 balls.
That became 108 for 5 when Savage was followed back by the fluent Pablo Ferguson just two balls later. Ferguson scored the highest of Argentina’s innings, 37 off 121. His patient 121-ball innings included two boundaries. The next three wickets added 52 runs to the teams total with a major share coming from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Donald-Forrester-c54391, who scored 25 runs off 28 balls plundering two boundaries as well. Argentina could amass 160 for 8 from the allotted 50 overs. Marlon Bryan claimed 3 scalps conceding 32 runs during his quota of 10-overs while Conroy Wright and Ryan Bovell shared two wickets each.
Cayman Island’s run chase got off to a bad start with both the openers scoring first ball duck. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pearson-Best-c81298, playing at No 3 position, took the initiative and played a fine knock of 55 runs from just 32 balls plundering seven boundaries and three sixes. His assault was well supported by Ryan Bovell, 53 off 65, and Ronald Ebank scoring 30 off 53 as the Cayman Island clinched five wickets victory over Argentina with plenty of overs to spare.
