Match Report: New Vision vs Villa United Villa United See Victory Against New Vision By Vijay Harrinarain Brown Hill, Nevis | June 13, 2026 2026 Bank of Nevis 40-over season, Division 2 Villa United secured a four-wicket victory over New
Vision in the 2026 Bank of Nevis 40-over Division 2 season on Saturday, chasing down 176 in 28.1 overs in a contest that had enough twists to keep both sets of supporters in suspense until the final exchanges. New Vision, who won the toss and elected to bat, posted 175/9 from 30 overs, a total built on Rohan Laborde’s free-flowing 62. Villa United, however, always appeared to have the measure of the target, and Curtis Dore’s authoritative reply at the top of the order ensured the visitors were rarely seriously tested in the chase. New Vision Build on a Laborde Foundation Laborde’s 62 off 61 balls was the backbone of New Vision’s innings, and it was an innings worth watching. He played some delightful shots to all parts of the ground, showing a range that oozed class. The knock featured 6 boundaries and a six, and gave New Vision a platform from which the side could have accelerated. He found reliable support in Delroy Prentice, who contributed 34 off 35 before Sahadea Latchman removed him as part of a tidy 2 or 19 from 3 overs. Abijah Nemdhari was Villa United’s standout with the
ball, claiming 3 for 27 from 6 overs in a spell that consistently tested the New Vision batting order. Rakeesh Subramani added 2 for 20, and young leg- spinner Ghaniss impressed throughout, mixing sharp turn with clever variation to claim wickets and apply pressure in the middle overs, a performance that underlined his potential as a genuine match- winner with the ball. Between them, the Villa United bowlers ensured New Vision could never quite find the late-innings momentum the total deserved. Tyrell Mills’s 23 off 27 showed promise in the middle order but could not be converted into the launch the innings needed. New Vision settled for 175/9. Dore Sets the Chase in Motion Villa United lost Rakeesh Subramani early to Rohan Laborde, but Dore, batting with authority from the first over, steadied the reply alongside Balram Latchman. Dore’s 40 off 38 balls was stamped with genuine quality, his drives through mid-off particularly crisp as he took the New Vision attack apart in the opening exchanges. Latchman (34 off 22) brought the acceleration the partnership needed, and Devanand Walter’s 36 off 34 provided the composed, measured batting through the middle overs that kept Villa United’s chase firmly on course. New Vision’s bowlers did not go quietly. Walter’s run- out and the dismissal of Anand Bhim gave the home side a foothold, and Demorae Prentice (1 for 24), Peter Charles (1 for 25), and Laborde (1 for 28) kept the pressure on throughout. But the Villa United middle order held firm, and the target was reached at 176/6 in 28.1 overs, a winning margin of 4 wickets.
Verdict Laborde’s 62 was a fine innings on the losing side, an effort deserving of a winning cause. Nemdhari’s 3 for 27 was the standout bowling display of the day, with Ghaniss’s leg-spin providing a complementary threat that will have caught the eye of those watching. For Villa United, Dore’s authoritative 40 at the top set the platform, Latchman’s brutal 34 off 22 carried forward the momentum and Walter’s 36 provided the spine through the middle, finishing the job. An entertaining Division 2 contest that both sides can take plenty of encouragement from.
