Nand Persaud Co. Ltd 50 overs Female tournament.
Smartt top scored with an unbeaten 75 before taking 3 wickets to lead her team to the runner up position in the three team’s female tournament. Rose Hall Town Metro had defeated West Berbice by a whopping 326 runs and New Amsterdam/Canje by 96 runs last week to emerge as Champions.
New/Amsterdam/Canje won the toss and elected to bat first. They amassed 262 for 7 from their allotted 50 overs. Smart top scored with 75 which included four boundaries and received support from R. Grimmond 32 and Ashmini Munisar 27. Devona Frank 1 for 36 (10 Overs), T. Isaacs 1 for 41 (9 Overs) and D. Small 2 for 32 were the successful bowlers for West Berbice, who showed remarkable improvement from their first match against RHT Metro.
Needing to score 263 from 50 overs to win, West Berbice were bowled out for 117 with national players Kantana Mentore scoring 41 not out. Smartt 3 for 25 and Under 19 medium pacer Jamie Campbelle 3 for 34 were the main bowlers for the home team.
BCB President Hilbert Foster stated that he was fully aware that enough female cricket is not played in Guyana and this is a major frustration for the female cricketers. This, Foster stated is due to the fact that the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club is the only club in Guyana to have a full female team. He urged other established clubs to invest in female cricket and committed the BCB in 2020 to organise several other tournaments along with numerous developmental programme for females. A special thanks was expressed to the RHTYSC, MS and the Management of the Nand Persaud Co. Ltd for their support.
