<div>
<p>Former national youth batsman Omesh&nbsp;Danram&nbsp;yesterday swatted an unbeaten half-century to power the University of Guyana (UG) to a comfortable seven-wicket win over the&nbsp;Malteenoes&nbsp;Sports Club (MSC) in the penultimate round of the New Building Society (NBS) Second Division forty overs tournament.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;UG, chasing 220 for victory, reached 221 for 3 inside 26 overs with the right-handed&nbsp;Danram&nbsp;slamming eight fours and four maximums in an unbeaten knock of 89 to see his side home.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;He also shared in a 155 run-stand with Linden Austin, who made 57 inclusive of five fours and a maximum. The pair came together with the score on 55-2 after the loss of Melroy Stephenson (4) and Godfrey&nbsp;Thakurdin&nbsp;(33) and took the game away from MSC.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;Skipper&nbsp;Nickhose&nbsp;Barker (1-41), Marcus Watkins (1-40) and Delon Dalrymple (1-31) were the wicket-takers for MSC, who had earlier won the toss and elected to bat and reached 219 for nine before their overs expired.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;Opener Stephon Browne top scored with 37 while Barker (30) and Joseph&nbsp;Cupidore&nbsp;(30) both chipped in.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;UG’s bowling effort was spearheaded by skipper Dennis Heywood whose off-spin yielded 2-32 while&nbsp;Yekin&nbsp;Favorite (2-53) and Devon Paul (2-45) contributed to the win.&nbsp;</p>
