Canada-based Guyanese cricketers on show tomorrow
Two heavyweight teams, defending champion Mercenary, and Carr Tec are set to collide on Saturday at Ashtonbee Park (Reservoir) for the 2022 Ontario Softball Cricket League (OSCL) grand finale in the 20-overs format.

Another fascinating encounter is highly predictable when the action rolls off at 9:00 hrs. A large number of former Guyana youth cricketers are slated to be on show.
Mercenary should start proceedings with the psychological advantage though alluding to the fact they have been dominant in this year’s edition winning 12 of their 13 games at the completion of the preliminary round.
They already won the 10 and 15-overs trophies and also topped the point’s table with 72 sharing it with Berbice Vipers.
Carr Tec finished off at number three with 60 points chalking up 10 victories and that might enhance their confidence immensely for this showdown.
Notably, 14 teams participated this season. Both Mercenary and Carr Tec churned out some excellent and terrific performances with their playoff matches. They no doubt will be looking to finish off things rather auspiciously.
At the conclusion of the game, the presentation will take place. Trophies are up for grabs. The two umpires for the match are Frederick Halley and Robin Gopaul.
Mercenary squad reads: Looknauth Ramsuchit, Avinash Sookdeo, Damodar Daesrath, Shaun Deonandan, Avish Rukhram, Bholonauth Sukhoo, Avish Rukhram, Satrohan Balkarran, Richard Dias, Zaheer Allard, Orin O’Neal and Rabindra Diaram.
Carr Tec squad: Troy Gobin, Rovendra Mandolall, Pradeep Singh, Ian Baldeo, Mohendra Monilall, Eion Katchay, Gavin Glasgow, Prabhu Balkaran, Ramnarine Chatura, Mike Kadir, Andy Persaud and Yoodhanlall Sukhlall. Former Guyana first-class skipper Damodar Daesrath has been in fine form. He is expected to play a key role for Mercenary.
