Cricket : Highlights Two Secure Second Division Championship in Harvey Stapleton T-20 Tournament

Anything closer would have resulted in a super over and at one point, it was definitely on the cards.

It was the second division finals, in the Harvey Stapleton T-20 tournament, hosted by the Nevis Cricket Association and played at the VOJN grounds, on Sunday 20th March.
The two teams in the middle—Highlights 2 and New Vision.

New Vision batted first and was bowled out for a meager 102.
On the surface and on a good batting track, it seemed like the match would be over in a jiffy—but wait!

The New Vision team came back fighting and suddenly, with Kimarni Nisbett firing on all cylinders, Highlights two was rocked back, to be 24 for 5.

However, Winston Sutton and the youthful Tylo Nisbett, batted out of their skins, to stabilize the innings and the nail-biting encounter was decided in the final over, with 4 runs required from 6 balls and just 1 wicket remaining.

After Tylo Nisbett was LBW to Wendell Wallace off the first ball, number 11, James Weekes, calmly eked out the required runs, to hand Highlights 2 the trophy.

Summarized scores: New Vision 102 all out in 18.4 overs: Tyrell Mills 21; Dulani Phillip 14; 17 extras
