In the opening encounter of the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) Women’s Inter-County T20 tournament, Berbice, led by their bowlers, dismantled Essequibo to win by seven wickets in a low-scoring match at the Malteenoes Sports Club (MSC) Ground yesterday.
In brilliant sunshine just after midday, Berbice skipper Shemaine Campbell won the toss and decided to insert the Essequibians to bat. Campbell’s bowlers justified her decision by maintaining a stranglehold on their opponents, who had no answers.
While openers Lauren Williams and Lavina Ragoobeer soldiered on for the first five overs, they found scoring tough, and the latter was dismissed for trying to get a move on. She was caught by Tieaa Isaacs off the bowling of Sheneta Grimmond for one run off 19 deliveries.
