Ivan and Sinclair steer RHTGG to victory
Thanks to Rajiv Ivan and Jason Sinclair’s batting performance, coupled with Shawn Pereira’s continued destructive bowling, host Rose Hall Town Gizmos and Gadgets (RHTGG) managed to scrape past West Berbice at the Area ‘H’ ground last Saturday, to record their third successive win in this year’s Berbice Cricket Board/Tenelec first division limited overs competition.
Asked to bat first, the visitors got useful contributions from Sherwin McPherson 49 (4×4, 2×6), Rafael Estriado 37 (4×4), Keith Fraser 33 (3×4, 2×6), Pooran Prashad 27 (2×6, 1×4) and Steffon Adams’ 16 (2×4, 1×6) to reach 201 all out off 45.5 overs.
Pereira, this year’s national Under-19 skipper, took 4 for 54 and got good support from Eon Hooper and Clinton Pestano who took two wickets each for 23 and 40 runs respectively for RHTGG, who slipped to 32 for 2, before Ivan and Sinclair joined forces to add 149 for the third wicket.
Ivan struck 12 fours and two sixes in his 77 and Sinclair nine fours in his 68 before Ivan was caught at backward square off a full toss from Adams, a wicket that triggered a slide in the home team’s batting as they slipped from 181 for 2 to 199 for 8, losing the wicket of Sinclair as well.
However, while West Berbice scented victory at that stage of the game, RHTGG had other plans with both Pereira and Pestano keeping their nerves to see their team to 202 for 8 off 38.5 overs and victory. Both batsmen ended unbeaten on 2 and 1 respectively.
