Brazil v Chile, Group-A (South American Championship) Spencer Bailey, John Milton, and Deusa Souza - 1 April 1999 CricInfo report |
The Third South American Cricket Championship began on April 1 in Lima, Peru. In the first group consisting of Chile, Brazil and Argentina, Chile comfortably beat a weakened Brazil side for whom the only major contribution was made by Bharni Baghi with a hard-hitting 56. Batting mistakes and two silly run outs prevented Brazil from getting more than 87 which Chile easily hit off within 20 overs. If Brazil had taken their catches, the match might have been closer.
