Veteran softball player Ricky Deonarain will lead a strong Floodlights team against the Guyana Media XI in a feature 20-over ‘hardball’ cricket match on October 2 at the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) ground, Queenstown.
This will be the third time the two teams will be meeting, and it is seen as a winner-takes-all game after the results were shared in the first two encounters.
The first game, a ‘hardball’ encounter was easily won by the Guyana Media XI, while the return match, a softball showdown was won the Floodlights team.
At the conclusion of game two, a coin toss was held at the DCC ground to determine which version of the game will be played during the ‘final’, and the Guyana Media XI won the right to have a ‘hardball’ match to break the deadlock.
