– impressive Miller takes 6 wickets for 23 off 7-Overs

 

The Berbice Cricket Board (BCB)/Hand-in-Hand 40-Overs Tournament for cricket teams in West Berbice got off to an exciting start with five matches played across various grounds in Region 5.
The Tournament, which is sponsored by the Hand-in-Hand Group of Companies, forms part of the effort of BCB promoting the development of the game in the neglected area. Promising fourteen years old off spinner Akeem Miller took the opportunity to impress with 6 wickets for 23 off 7-Overs playing for Blairmont vs Cotton Tree Die Hard.
Cotton Tree Die Hard defeated Blairmont “B” by a massive 160 runs at the Cotton Tree Ground. Cotton Tree Die Hard amassed 223 in 30.2 overs with Taj Singh 51 and Jagdeo Persaud’s 32.
Singh hit Blairmont balls for 3 fours and 4 sixes as Persaud’s lashed four 4’s with a six; the two were the principal scorers.
Akeem Miller 6 – 23 and Marcus France 2 -58 were the main bowlers for Blairmont “B” who in reply  was dismissed for 63 runs as Arfan Khan 31 offered resistance to off spinners Nashad Gafoor 4 – 24 and Roshan Gafoor 4 -11.
At Shieldstown, the home team defeated Woodley Park # 11 by four runs. Shieldstown was dismissed for 138 in 30.3 Overs with Heeralall Bridgelall and Aftar Ghanie making top scores of 30 and 29 respectively. J. Nurse took 2- 24 for Woodley Park who then replied with 130 all out in 33.2 Overs with S. Beharry 39 and D. Bridgelall 20 being the leading batters. Aftar Ghanie (3 for 15) and Ryan Khan were the leading bowlers for Sheildstown.
Playing at Bush Lot, the home team squeezed past Sundown of Cotton Tree by 3 runs but faces a protest as the losers are appealing the match. Sundown is claiming that Bush Lot Challengers played three first division players instead of one.
Bush Lot Challengers made 128 runs in 28 Overs. Angelo Sukhall 28 and A. Mathadeck 21 were top scorers. Sundown had 125 in 29.2 Overs. Parmanand Singh and S. Rahaman made 36 and 29 runs respectively. Angela Sukhall took 3 for 20 while Asif Khan took 2 for 20.
