Kaieteur Sports – The third edition of the Kares One Guyana T10 Tapeball Blast reaches its crescendo today, Sunday, August 3, as the national finals are staged at the National Stadium, Providence. The action-packed day is set to crown a new champion from four formidable teams, each boasting the quality to lift the coveted trophy.
The intensity of the competition is palpable. All four remaining sides have navigated a path through approximately 80 teams across Guyana to reach this ultimate stage.
The zone champions – Mahdia (Movements Family) from Essequibo, Titans All-Stars from East Coast Demerara/Georgetown, Montra Jaguars from Berbice, and Eccles All-Stars from East Bank/West Demerara – are all vying for national supremacy.
The cricketing spectacle begins with the first semi-final at 15:30h, pitting defending champions Titans All-Stars against Mahdia (Movements Family).
This will be followed at 17:00h by Montra Jaguars taking on the 2023 champions, Eccles All-Stars.
The grand finale, which will determine the ultimate champion of the Kares One Guyana T10 Tapeball Blast, will commence at 19:30h.
Adding to the day’s excitement, a female exhibition match will take place at 13:30h, showcasing the growing talent in women’s tapeball cricket.
Later, at 18:30h, a star-studded exhibition match will feature prominent figures, including Minister Charles Ramson Jr., Kerwin Bollers, West Indies player Tevin Imlach, DJ Stress, Rawle Ferguson, and WR Reaz.
The stakes are considerably higher in the national final, with teams vying for a massive $1.7 million grand prize in addition to the $300,000 zone prize they have already collected.
The national runner-up won’t go home empty-handed, pocketing $700,000 with a trophy and medals, while even the losing semi-finalists will be rewarded $300,000 each.
Individual brilliance won’t go unnoticed either, with a host of prizes up for grabs, including MVP ($150,000 + motorcycle), Most Runs ($100,000 + trophy + TV), Most Wickets ($100,000 + trophy + TV), Man-of-the-National Final ($75,000 + trophy + TV), Highest Strike Rate ($35,000), and Best Economy ($35,000)
