KINGSTOWN, St Vincent, CMC – West Indies batsman Sunil Ambris smashed an unbeaten half-century to power Salt Pond Brokers to a 25-run win over La Soufriere Hikers in the ninth match of the T10 Vincy Premier League here yesterday.
In a battle of the two previously unbeaten teams, Ambris, with scores of five and 29 in his two previous outings in the inaugural tournament, struck a high tempo 75 not out off 40 deliveries as Breakers piled up 132 without loss off their 10 overs.
Sent in at the Arnos Vale Complex, Breakers were propelled by the free-scoring right-handed Ambris who lashed eight fours and four sixes while Kadir Nedd blasted exactly 50 off 22 balls with five fours and three sixes.
In the day’s second encounter, West Indies Emerging Players batsman Gidron Pope’s half-century proved insufficient as Fort Charlotte Strikers defeated Grenadines Divers by 22 runs.
Earlier, opener Asif Hooper top-scored with 59 off 36 balls with half-dozen fours and three sixes to propel Strikers to 114 for three off their allotted overs.
