B/ce crush E’bo to reach final

A ruthless bowling performance by Berbice enabled them to easily crush Essequibo by 79 runs via the Duckworth/Lewis method yesterday and book a place in today’s final of the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) Under-19 Inter-county 50 over tourney against Demerara.

Played at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence, Berbice were knocked over for 146 runs in 46 overs after West Indies U19 vice-captain and Essequibo skipper Keemo Paul (3-28) and Siddiq

Mohamed (4-34), ran through the batting order despite a mature knock of 56 from top-scorer Matthew Hardyial who hit four boundaries.
