…Annandale Secondary and Abram Zuil in huge clash at the Enterprise Ground today

Kaieteur News – The nationwide Ministry of Education/Beharry Holdings U-19 Secondary School’s T20 Cricket tournament has taken the country by storm, with some of Guyana’s brightest youth prospects headlining a number of the statistical charts, with the race for individual supremacy also heating up ahead of the upcoming finals.

The tournament has been building nicely since it began back in early June, gaining significant traction and momentum at a steady pace, while allowing some of the best U19 talents to shine brightly, with the final road leading to the finals.

The tournament recently wrapped up some intense knockout games, which have so far seen the best of the best emerging as the 8 zonal winners.

After the last eight teams managed to essentially secure their spots in the Group A and B final stages, the action intensified, with the push to book the two spots in the final becoming increasingly tougher for the remaining teams.

All eyes will also be on the individual performers, most of whom have been dominant either with bat or ball, for a few both; as several youngsters will be keen on finishing the tournament possibly not with the title alone but the individual accolades to go along with such a historic competition.

MVP Race

Leading the race for the MVP award is the dynamic Ruel Dindyal of Annandale, who currently sits on 707 points, followed by Abram Zuil’s Ravid Fredericks with 588 points.

The youth stars of Berbice Educational Institute have been ultra-dominant, as three of their players control spots 3-5, controlling the majority of the stake within the current MVP tussle.

All-rounder Brandon Grimmond occupies the 3rd spot with 462 points, while the highly-talented Gilbert Griffith holds down the 4th spot with 455 points, followed by batting sensation Luke Amsterdam rounding off the 5th spot with 417 points.

Most Runs

BEI have also managed to control some real estate in the race for the coveted Most Runs Award, with Amsterdam racking up 362 Runs at a strike rate (S/R) of 130.7, including two half-centuries and a best of 114*.

Fredericks, who was stuck in the 90’s twice, one time unbeaten, has kept Abram Zuil in the mix statistically with his 283 Runs coming at a brutal S/R of 153.0, featuring a best of 92, which accounts for one of his two fifty-plus scores.

Number 3 on this list is Lemuel DeJonge with his 271 runs, batting at a S/R of over 150.0; he has 3 fifties this tournament, with his best being an unbeaten 90.

Lower Corentyne Secondary’s Nathaniel Ramsammy, with 191 Runs, slammed a vicious 160, which was one of the better knocks of the tournament thus far, to earn his 4th place, as Dindyal wraps up the 5th spot on this list with 182 runs, including one fifty and a best of 62 not out.

Most wickets

Dindyal, however, has managed to take the bowling charts for himself with his 17 wickets coming at a good economy rate of 2.8 while his 5-4 are some of the best returns of the entire competition.

His teammate Grimmond has also been brilliant with the ball, trailing the number one spot by just 2 scalps with his 15 victims and best haul of 5-10 keeping him close to a hunt for possibly ending as the leading bowler.

Number 3 belongs to the National U19 left-arm spinner, Griffith, who has been a revelation in youth cricket ever since bursting onto the scene before cementing his position as one for the future, further showing his class by raking in some 14 wickets to date with a best of 4-9.

Another national youth all-rounder, Bomesh Lall of Essequibo Islands Secondary sits in 4th place with 11 wickets, including top returns of 5-5, with his teammate Aarav Sukhram sealing the number 5 position with 11 scalps and one of the best hauls of the tournament, 5-1.

Most Sixes (175 Tournament 6s)

Led by the in-form Fredericks with 14 maximums under his belt thus far, Mickel Johnson (11 wickets) of New Campbellville Secondary comes in at number 2, tied alongside teammate Ricardo Danesar, who also has 11 wickets but sits in third.

National youth player Justin Dowlin of the Essequibo Islands has returned 10 wickets to date for his current holding of 4th place, with DeJonge capping off the list at 5th place with 9 sixes.

Most Fours (580 tournament 4s)

Amsterdam heads up this list with 35 fours to his credit, followed by number 2 on this list,

Fredericks, who could easily sneak to number 1 after being tied on 34 as well.
