By Samuel Whyte
Kaieteur Sports – With so much at stake, a keen and close encounter was envisaged in what is arguably the biggest Second Division cricket competition in Guyana.
The semifinal encounter in the Price Is Right Supermarket/ Upper Corentyne Cricket Association (UCCA) T20 Blast 2025 cricket competition lived up to expectations. The game, which is sponsored by Danesh Roopnarine [Boyco], proprietor of the Supermarket mentioned earlier, went down to the wire.
In the end, No. 72 All Stars squeezed home by the thinnest of Margins over No. 64 Fighting Marines as the Super Over became the deciding factor.
In the match which was played at the No. 69 Viking Ground, No. 64 Fighting Marines batted first and scored 123 for nine in their 20 overs. Jamal Byass top scored with 36 (3×6), Charles France 19, Leonard Sandy 14, Ramees Narine 13 and Neil Profit 11. Extras was the second top scorer with 20.
Bowling for No 72 All Start Vic Singh, P Chaterpaul and G Chaterpaul picked up two wickets each. While L. Singh and T. Singh snared one each.
In reply, No. 72 All Stars ended on the identical score of 123 for nine. Leading their effort were K. Chaterpaul with 35, L. Singh 29 and P Chaterpaul 12. Extras contributed 17.
No. 64 Fighting Marines bowling was led by Ramzan Subhan with four wickets, Leonard Sandy with three, while there was one apiece for Stephan Embrack and Teemal Singh.
No. 72 All Stars will now meet defending champion No. 72 Cut N’ Load in the final. They had drawn a bye to the final scheduled for Sunday, October 20, at the No. 69 Vikings Ground.
The match is expected to start at 13:00 hrs with live streaming commentary available. The sponsor has doled out over $4M in sponsorship, inclusive of uniforms for the 18 teams in the competition.
A female exhibition softball match will precede the final.
The winning team will walk away with $ 425,000, the runnerup will receive $225,000 and the two Semi-finalists will take home $ 50,000 each. The best batsman, best bowler and MVP in the final will receive a new bat, a pair of boots and a trophy along with $ 10,000, respectively. In addition, the tournament top wicket keeper, batsman with the most runs and bowler with most wickets will receive a pair wicketkeeping gloves, a pair batting pads and a pair boots, respectively. Also, medals will be presented to all the players in the final.
More is expected to be announced as the date for the final draws closer. President of the UCCA, Juniour Blair, is the Coordinator.
