Masterful Kevin Sinclair leads RHT Namilco Thunderbolt Flour to semifinals
BCB| Ivan Madray First Division T20 Tournament
Kaieteur Sports – The strong Rose Hall Town Namilco Thunderbolt Flour team on Saturday last held their nerve to defeat a determined Rose Hall Canje team by twenty-four runs at the Area ‘H’ ground in the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) Ivan Madray First Division T20 Tournament.
The youthful visiting team at one stage of the second-round match, seemed on the verge of a major upset but the home team called on their experience to advance to the semifinals after drawing a bye in the first round.
The winning RHT Namilco Thunderbolt Flour
Rose Hall Town skipper Clinton Pestano won the toss and elected to bat first in bright sunshine as openers Kevin Sinclair (20) and Javed Karim (16) added 33 for the first wicket before the batter was caught off medium pacer Sanjay Algoo fourth over. Solid batting from Pestano (30) Romesh Bharrat (15) and Eon Hooper (24) led the home team to 143 for 8 off their allotted 20 overs. Algoo ended with three wickets for 34 runs, impressive pacer Devon Warthon 2 for 16 (4 overs) while Romario Ramdehol took 1 for 30 from his four overs.
Needing to score 144 from 20 overs, the visitors were well placed at 90 for 1 in the 14th over, with the ultra-aggressive Altar Balman and Romario Ramdehol in full blow.
Kevin Sinclair
Earlier, off spacer Kevin Sinclair had bowled Sanjay Algoo for 9 and then came back to break the second wicket partnership by having Ramdehol brilliantly caught by Keon Sinclair for 23 in the fifteenth over. Rose Hall Canje innings then fell apart as the experienced pair of Kevin Sinclair and Jonathan Rampersaud bowled well to restrict them for 119 for 8 when the 20 overs were completed. Balman top-scored with a brilliant 58 with five delighted fours and two massive sixes but received no support from Adrien Hetmyer 01, Isai Thorax 04, Ravindra Beharry 01, Richard Ramdehol 03, Andrew Bennett 00 and Devon Warthon 06.
Kevin Sinclair took 4 for 22 from his four overs, while Jonathan Rampersaud continued his productive form with the ball with 2 for 21. Clinton Pestano took 1 for 24.
The Rose Hall Town Namilco Thunderbolt Flour team would play archrivals Albion Community Centre Cricket Club in the semifinals, while Young Warriors would clash with the Tucber Park Cricket Club in the second semifinals.
