Batting with each other a dream says century makers

A partnership forged on and off the field Temica Wilson (left) and Akaze Thompson each scored centuries on Sunday in the same innings

After becoming the first two ladies to score centuries in the same innings in a Guyana Cricket Board 50-overs Senior Female Inter-County match, Demerara’s Akaze Thompson and Temica Wilson believe it was a dream come true for the two friends.

Thompson, 26, and Wilson, 23, stroked 164 not out and 105 respectively against Essequibo last weekend in a record tumbling match.

Speaking on the innings, Thompson said, “at first I knew I was struggling a bit but I kept saying I got to bat through, I got to bat through and this got to be my first century, I was excited especially batting with Temica and I knew once I was batting with her runs would come.”
