Kaieteur Sports – The air on the Essequibo Coast is thick with anticipation as cricket fans ponder the burning question: which team will emerge victorious from the Essequibo zone of the Kares One Guyana T10 Tapeball Blast and secure the final coveted spot in the national playoffs? Sixteen teams are set to clash today, but only one will be crowned champion under the lights at the Anna Regina Ground.
The battle for Essequibo supremacy features a diverse lineup of teams, including Aurora Knight Riders, Team Evolution, Team Royals, Renegades Cricket Club, The United Crew, Mahdia (Movements Family), Matarkai CPG, Bartica Royals, Moruca Super Strikers, Queenstown (Ariel XI), Inevitable XI, Avinash All-Stars, and Essequibo Jaguars. Adding to the intrigue, the tournament will showcase a blend of local talent alongside prominent West Indies players like Shamar Joseph, Kyle Mayers, and Ronsford Beaton.
With so much on the line and a wealth of talent on display, the Essequibo zone promises to deliver thrilling cricketing action.
Matches are slated to be played across multiple venues including Pomona Ground, Richmond Ballfield, Hampton Court, and the Anna Regina Ground, which will host the grand finale under lights.
With Montra Jaguars (Berbice), Eccles All-Stars (East Bank Demerara/West Demerara), and Titans All-Stars (East Coast/Georgetown) already through, the focus now squarely rests on who will join them in the national finals. The excitement is palpable, especially with free admission to all venues, making it accessible for everyone to witness the explosive T10 action, which kicks off at 09:00h.
Beyond the prestige of being zonal champions, significant financial incentives await the top performers. The Essequibo zone winner will bag a handsome $300,000, while the runner-up takes home $100,000. However, the real prize awaits at the national final on Sunday, August 3, at the National Stadium, Providence, where teams will compete for a staggering $1.7 million grand prize.
The national runner-up won’t leave empty-handed, pocketing $700,000 along with a trophy and medals, and even the losing semi-finalists will be rewarded with $300,000 each.
