Kaieteur Sports – Attacking, opening batsman Patrick Rooplall struck a pugnacious, unbeaten 74 to fire Regal to a handsome, 10-wicket against hosts Lusignan Sports Club in the other semi-final match of the 2026 Guyana’s 60th Independence Anniversary softball, Over-40 T20 knockout competition.

The right-handed Rooplall belted eight mammoth sixes in a 17-ball show as Regal reached 78 replying to Lusignan Sports Club’s moderate 77 all out in 13-overs on Friday.
