Johannesburg, Sept. 19: Ethan O’Reilly ripped through Guyana’s batting as the Highveld Lions crushed the West Indian team by nine wickets in the Champions League Twenty20 tournament at the Wanderers Stadium on Sunday.

Opening bowler O’Reilly took four for 27 as Guyana struggled to 148 for nine in their 20 overs. The Lions raced to victory with 4.5 overs to spare as captain Alviro Petersen (57 n.o.) and pinch-hitter Richard Cameron (78 not out) put on an unbeaten 133 for the second wicket.

Meanwhile, Royal Challengers Bangalore were 71 for 2, when the edition went to bed, chasing 166 for a win against Mumbai Indians (MI) in the other match of the day. Batting first, MI rode on Shikhar Dhawan’s top knock of 41. — AFP
