BCB Skyy Vodka T20… RHT Gizmos & Gadgets face Upper Corentyne in final tomorrow
Shawn Pereira
The No. 69 ground located in the Upper Corentyne Sub-Association would be a hive of action tomorrow when it host the final of the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) Skyy Vodka T20 Tournament.
It would be the first BCB final to be hosted in the Sub-Association after several decades. Albion Community Centre would play Skeldon in the third place match while Upper Corentyne and Rose Hall Town Gizmos & Gadget would vie for championship honours.
A strengthened Albion side which lost to Upper Corentyne in the semifinals would be led by Kandasammy Surujnarine and he would be supported by returning overseas players Sharaz Ramcharran and Adrian Sukhwa.
Under-19 players Kevin Umroa, Antonio February, Karran Arjpaul, Mahendra Chaitram and Gourav completes a formidable combination for Albion which would be missing several of their senior players.
Skeldon would depend heavily on veteran Sherain Murray, Victor Pedro, Junior Blair, Ryan Ramdass and Errol Byass. They have surpassed expectations to reach this far in the tournament but are known as the ‘silent killers’ in the shorter format of the game.
Upper Corentyne shocked all by defeating Albion in the semifinals and would be cherishing their place in the final. They would be led by their inspirational Captain Lakeram Latchman with support from Rikesh Persaud, Devin Baldeo, Devendra Budhoo, Naeem Yacook, Latchman Roopchand and Terrence Budhoo.
At the helm of the RHT Gizmos & Gadgets challenge would be former Guyana U-19 Captain Shawn Pereira along with the experienced Eon Hooper, Jason Sinclair, Kevlon Anderson, Junior Sinclair, Sylus Tyndall, Keith Simpson and Kevin Sinclair.
The winning team would take home $100,000 and a trophy, first runner-up $50,000 and trophy, the second runner-up $30,000. The man-of-the-final receives a financial incentive and trophy. Meanwhile, executives of the BCB led by President Hilbert Foster along with representatives of Ansa McAl and the Upper Corentyne Cricket Association would participate in the presentation ceremony.
