The Masters team won their first game by walk over but lost their 2nd game to Betterhope on Friday.
They defeated Tristate Masters on saturday morning with some superb bowling from Amar Singh, Mike Balkaran, and Bar Persaud, limiting Tristate to 103 all out. Muniram Pooran, Cliff Rahaman, and Anthony Dhannie batted well to see their team home and earned their semi final spot versus a strong Guyana Floodlights team. Tiredeness, fatigue and playing with two injured players didn't help their cause in the semi final as the Guyana team's opener was dropped first ball of the game as well as the number 2 batsmen being dropped in the second off both off the bowling of Amar.
The SFSCL team played without a recognised keeper and even though they tried, Guyana scored 199 runs in their 20 overs. In reply SFSCL only managed to score 167 for 4 when the overs ran out.
The SFSCL would like to thank all the players who made the trip and tried their hardest to compete.
The league know that it took a lot of time and dedication for the trip and congratulate you all on reaching the semi finals with a team made up of last minute selections and wish the team better luck next time around.
Hopefully next time the better availabilty of players can make the trip to NY and compete against the other sides.
