– Berbice romp to 73-run win over GCB XI
Kaieteur Sports – Opener Lomar Seecharran continued to raise his stock as one of the elite Youth batsmen in Guyana, as his mind-blowing 151 piloted Demerara to a whopping 252-run pummeling over the GCB XI, while Berbice handed Essequibo a 73-run defeat; all apart of Tuesday’s round of U16 action.
Seecharran, arguably the best junior national opener and one of the better scorers at the youth level, slammed a majestic 151 off 124 balls before retiring; an innings which laid the foundation for Demerara’s whopping 358-8.
His 17 fours and 4 sixes headlined the innings at LBI Ground, which was supported by some good knocks from the in-form Nathan Bishop who stroked an aggressive 57-ball 67 (6×4).
Lomar Seecharran’s stock as one of the elite Youth openers/batsmen in Guyana, continues to grow with another majestic innings.
Opener Aaron Narine scored 31 during the 101 run first wicket stand as all-rounder Afraz Khan finished the innings with a run-a-ball 31 not out.
Wickets were hard to come by for the GCB XI, as spinner Shaker Ramesh (2-57) finished as the most successful bowler out of the 7 operators used.
The Demerara opener got to his half-century off 41 before turning on the boosters to reach his 150-run mark off a mere 124 deliveries.
His breathtaking strokeplay, which has been on full display over the past year or so, again played a huge role in getting his team to a strong first innings score.
The knock effectively crushed the spirits of the GCB XI bowlers who struggled during their spells, but were tasked with even harder duties during the mammoth chase.
In response, GCB XI failed to get anywhere close to the gargantuan target and were stuck on 106-10 after 39 overs of toiling.
All-rounder Makai Dowlin swapped duties as he opted to save his best performance of the innings, as his off-spin yielded impressive returns of 5-17 from his 10 over quota.
Medium-pacer Khan continued to show his class in both departments, snaring (1-5) with help from Somesh Boyer (2-25) and Aaron Persaud (1-22).
Only opener Solomon Hercules (22) really got going when compared to the rest of his teammates who struggled under the variables which came in the form of a complete Demerara bowling unit.
Berbice beat Essequibo by 73 runs at Lusignan Ground
The Ancient County lads posted a decent first innings score of 194-9 after their overs ended. Middle-order batsman Asgaralli Nabi was the rock of the innings after showing some form in the first round, the Berbician carried his team with a composed knock of 52 (3×4 1×6).
Captain and all-rounder Leon Reddy (41) missed out on a half-century but found some useful support in his soldiers like opener Akash Ramdewar (20) and all-rounder Altaf Ali (21).
After losing opener Ravid Fredericks (23) and top-scorer Devraj Persaud (25), Essequibo found themselves in a hole, being 81-6 at one point before eventually being reduced to a final score of 121-10 in the 43rd over.
Berbice skipper and all-rounder, Leon Reddy picked up from where he left off in the opening round.
The right-arm/left-arm combo of spinners of Sahid Gajnabi (2-22) and Jaden Ganpat (2-17),
created an immediate mismatch for the Essequibo batsmen.
Medium-pacer/match MVP Reddy, who bagged 4 in the last game, returned figures of 2-10 alongside Brandon Grimmond (2-20) who helped cap off a comprehensive bowling exhibition by the Ancient County youngsters.
The tournament continues Tomorrow (Thursday), with Berbice and Demerara duking it out at Lusignan, with the Essequibo/GCB XI clash taking place at the LBI Ground; from 9:30h. (Clifton Ross)
