Apr 28, 2012 Sports

A sustained and defining spell of fast bowling by Policeman Micheal Newland playing for Universal Solutions Tigers propelled his team to an easy 6-wicket semi final win over East Berbice Warriors and a place in the finals of the Universal DVD and Universal Solutions’ 7th Anniversary 2020 competition.
They will meet The Universal DVD Titans who defeated West Berbice All Stars by 5-wickets in their semi final clash.
The East Berbice Warriors lead by Steven Latcha won the toss and elected to take first strike but surrendered tamely as they were shot out for a paltry 79 in 18 overs with Veerapen Permaul 29 (2×4) and Troy Matheison 16 being the only batsmen to reach double figures.
The batsmen had to answer to the bounty hunting Newland who bowled with pace and aggression to take 5-17 in his four overs. He was well supported by Pereira with 3-14 and medium pacer Vishal Mohabir with 2 for 3.
The Tigers then eased to 80 for 4 from 15 overs with Delbert Hicks hammering an unbeaten 47 (1×6 4×4) and Harrinarine Chattergoon 21 (2×4), the two added 40 for the 2nd wicket with Hicks ending the game with two thumping boundaries. For the Warriors Mark Lionel took 2-16.
In the other semifinal between Universal Titans and West Berbice All Stars; West Berbice led by Sherwin Mc Pherson won the toss and decided to bat first and were bowled out for 113 in 19.3 overs. The pugnacious left handed Keith Fraser clubbed 36 (3×6 1×4) and Karamdat Bissoondyal 32 (1×6 3×4).
Bowling for Universal Titans, off spinner Eon Hooper snared 4 for 18 from four overs, Rajiv Ivan and Gudakesh Motie took two each while West Indies leg spinner Davendra Bishoo took one wicket.
The Titans in their reply were led by wicketkeeper batsman Jason Sinclair with a spanking 32 * (4×4) as they reached 117-5 in 16.1 overs. Ivan 19 (1×6 2×4) and Kevin Ramdeen 10 offered support. National pacer Keon Joseph ended with 3 for 12 from his four overs.
The Titans and Tigers will now clash on May 1st in the final at the same venue. However before that the East Berbice Warriors and West Berbice All Stars will tangle in the third place play off. The first game will get start at 11:00hrs with the final starting at 4:00hrs.
