The long awaited climax to the Elizabeth Styles Under-19 50 Overs cricket competition in Berbice is finally set for today with Albion Community Centre and Young Warriors clashing in the championship game at the Cumberland Ground in Canje.
Fans will have a chance to look at two exciting players, left arm spinner Gudakesh Motie and batsman Shimron Hetmyer, before they leave on November 27 for Barbados to join the West Indies Under-19 squad for a camp before flying out for Bangladesh on a return tour.
Motie will spearhead the all-spin Albion bowling attack that has done a lot of damage in the competition so far, keeping their team unbeaten. They bowled out Blairmont Community Centre for 39 in their semi final match.
Other than Motie and right arm leg spinner Avinash Wajib, there are four off spinners who have represented Berbice at the youth level; Balchand Baldeo, Veerapen Permaul, David Latchaya and Sharaz Ramcharran.
Their batting will be spearheaded by former Guyana Under-19 batsman Kandasammy Surujnarine, Guyana Under-15 opening batsman Adrian Sukhwa, Baldeo, Permaul, Ramcharran and Berbice Under-17 batsman Suruj Dookna.
Hetmyer on the other hand is expected to use his experience to lead the fight to counter the spin threat for Young Warriors. Kevin Ramdeen is also capable, so much so that he was a member of the Berbice Senior One-Day squad recently.
Former Guyana Under-19 batsman Linden Austin has been doing well recently at the first division level, while all-rounders Karamchand Ramnarine and Suresh Dhanai played for Berbice at the Under-19 level this year.
The Young Warriors bowling is more balanced. The pace department has been effective with Dhanai who only recently took 7 wickets against Rose Hall Town and Berbice Under-17 player Kassim Khan.
The off spinners are Ramdeen and Austin, but Albion would have to be very watchful of Berbice Under-19 left arm spinner Ramnarine who, along with Ramdeen, Austin and Dhanai, are regular first division players for Young Warriors.
Game time today is 09:30hrs. Mr. Bissoondial Singh, local representative of the U.S. based cosmetics company Elizabeth Styles will meet the teams prior to the commencement of the game.
Umpires are Clement Brusche and Omadat Samaroo with Orwin Archer the stand-by.
