He got support from Berbice under-15 cricketers Seon Glasgow (jnr) and Nigel Deodat with 69 and 68 runs respectively. Fawaz Gafoor also chipped in with 38.
In reply, Upper Corentyne made a disappointing 79 all out in 20 overs. Deodat came back to take 6 for 10 off 5 overs including a hat-trick in his first over, the first of the tournament. Hemraj Heeralall supported with 3 for 12 off 5 overs.
In a release, the Berbice Cricket Board said it would like to thank The Upper Corentyne Cricket Association and the Young Warriors Cricket Club for hosting the first two games.
