NO 69 Vikings won the female encounter.

At the well laid out and packed venue, defending Champion No 72 Cut N Load showed grit and determination to defeat rivals No 72 All Stars in a low scoring encounter. Playing like champions they drew on all their experience to lift the Price Is Right/ Upper Corentyne Cricket Association T20 Blast 2025 first prize and trophy.

Winning the toss and batting first on a tricky pitch, No 72 Cut N Load were held to 105 for 6 in their 20 overs with J. Assad 32, D. Chatterpaul 29, K. Chatterpaul 13 not out and K. Ajib10 their principal scorers.

Bowling for No 72 All Stars V. Singh picked up two wickets while there was one apiece for P. Chaterpaul, G. Chaterpaul and K. Dhup.

In reply, needing to get 106 at less than a run a ball to lift the hefty pay check and beautiful Price is Right trophy, All Stars started cautiously with their openers putting on 14 in 2 overs. However, their batsmen somehow were unable to force the scoring and got themselves bogged down, some throwing their wickets away amidst tight bowling for the Cut and Load bowlers to end on 93-8. K. Chaterpaul led the way with 24, K. Dhup 19 and G. Chaterpaul 15.

Bowling for the Cut and Load, C. Beresford led the attack with 4-16, while there was one apiece for A. Paresar, D. Jaggernauth and S. Chatterpaul.

At the presentation ceremony, which was adorned with back drops and fireworks, No 72 Cut N Load took home the $425,000 and the beautiful Price Is Right Trophy. No 72 ALL Stars were presented with $225,000 and trophy. Losing semi-finalists No 64 Fight Marines and Crabwood Creek took away $50,000 each and trophy.
