| The victorious TMP Pacesetters |
The Medical Pavilion Pacesetters are champions of the Bahamas
Cricket Association (BCA) 40-over competition. They achieved this feat with an
emphatic 141-run defeat of St. Albans in the final on Saturday at the Haynes
Oval on Bay Street.
Pacesetters’ triumph was engineered by a sterling all-round
performance from Ryan Tappin who hit 88 in his team’s 278 for seven in 40 overs,
and captured four wickets for 34 runs as St. Albans fell for 136 in 27. Tappin
was supported in the batting department by Renford Davson (51), Donovan
Matthews (45), Jonathon Barry (43), and skipper Albert Peters (29), after
Pacesetters won the toss and chose to bat. Davson and Matthews posted 100 in 17
overs for the first wicket while the others ensured a solid scoring rate was
maintained for the remainder of the innings. For St. Albans medium pacer Leonard
Dorsett claimed two wickets for 33 runs from four overs, while left-arm spinner
Nankhumar Jagroo had two for 78 from eight.
St. Albans’ innings was highlighted by Andre Dos Ramos’ 67.
His only support however, came from Brent Fullerton who scored 22 in a third
wicket stand of 44. Tappin, whose leg-breaks undermined St. Albans’ batting was
supported by medium-pacers Lee Melville and Barry who captured two for 40 and
two for 45 respectively.
Saturday’s win means Pacesetters, in their first season in
the league, are now double champions after capturing the BCA’s T20 title
earlier this year.
