GCB Women’s U19 T20 Inter-county Round 2

– Durant stars with bat/ball

Kaieteur Sports – Berbice handed Essequibo a 5-wicket defeat yesterday when Round 2 of the GCB U19 T20 Inter-county tournament continued yesterday at Malteenoes.

Crystal Durant starred yesterday for Berbice.

Laurene Williams had a solid game this past weekend.

Essequibo were mowed down batting first for 90 all out in 16.4 overs with Latoya Williams (15), Ashanti Mohammed (14) and opener Tremaine Marks (13).

Crystal Durant (2-11), Daniela Hicks (2-15), and Trisha Hardat (2-25) were exceptional during their spells for Berbice.

Durant then led her side with 26 not out opening the batting but was aided by some wayward bowling from Essequibo who gifted their opponents with a whopping 50 extras, making their chase easier.

Marks returned to grab 2-15 as she ended as the best bowler for the Essequibian ladies, who had a poor fielding innings.
