Scores: Sunrise 239-9 off 30 overs Fairfield 189-7 off 30 overs Batting first after calling correctly, Sunrise lost vivacious opener Mark Gomes via the run out route for a duck in the very first over. However, new opener Safraz Samad and Mark A. Gomes added 55 quick runs for the second wicket before the hard hitting Samad was caught at mid off after miss-timing a full toss for 26. Gomes found a useful partner in his Vikings skipper Mahendra Kanhai as they added 63 for the third wicket to rest the initiative away from the visiting team.

Mark A. Gomes complete a fine game by picking up 2 for 15 with his off-breaks. Sunrise to clash with Fairfield in season opener
Sunrise's veteran player, Sunildat Ballie who is looking forward to getting the season under way expects a good showing from his team. “We are an expanding team and have over 40 plus members currently and we will look to get everyone involved during the course of the year but still maintain that competitiveness that follows our reputation,” Ballie stated. The last time these two teams met, Sunrise scored a comfortable 129 runs victory in a one sided affair but Fairfield promises to avenge their loss with a much stronger and potent lineup. Expected to lead the way for the Connecticut boys is the hard hitting opening batsman S. Sukesh and the ever reliable B. Sugran. Q. Quarib, A. Ali and B. Jozzy have proven time and again to be difficult customers and they surely would want to take the brunt to the Sunrise attack. Their bowling, somewhat suspicious, will have their hands full but Quarib who picked up 3 wickets in the last meeting against Sunrise will once again be the spearhead of the attack and he will received support from fast bowlers D. Danish and R. Rafiek. Sunrise on the other hand will no doubt be feeling good about themselves with a powerful batting line up that features the likes of the two Gomes, Mark and Mark Anthony, Ramjit Singh, Safraz Samad, Sunesh Wazid, Sohan Bheer, Vicky Chin and Freddy Roopchand. Veteran medium pacer Sunildat Ballie leads a penetrative attack that includes former Guyana under 15 off spinner Tavendra Pooran, Tariq Aziz, Joel Chinsammy and Josh Harbajhan. Notable omission from the Sunrise team is Vikings Cricket Club captain Mahendra Kanhai who is suffering from a number of lingering injuries. Game time is 12.30 PM sharp. Team: Sunildat Ballie (Captain) Sohan Bheer Tariq Aziz Vicky Chin Josh Harbajhan Mark Gomes Ramjit Singh Safraz Samad Freddy Roopchand Mark A.
