– Rose Hall Town Gizmos & gadgets reaches Semis
A good allround performance from Devendra Thakurdeen spearheaded Port Mourant Karibee Rice to victory over Bush Lot United Rising Star to have them ending their Group B preliminary matches top of the Group with six points in the 2012 Tenelec Inc First Division 50-Over Cricket Competition in Berbice. Only Blairmont Community Centre can attain six points in that group but with Port Mourant coming out on top in their head-to-head clash, the latter team, therefore, is the winner of the Group and has thus earned the right to play the fourth placed team from Group A in the play-off for a place in the semi-finals.
Thakurdeen firstly took 5 for 30 from 5 overs with his off-spin to help restrict Bush Lot to 181 for 8 with Brentnol Woolford scoring 54 (5 fours), his third half century from four innings in the competition. When Port Mourant replied, they slipped to 49 for 3 but Thakurdeen rescued the situation by firstly putting on 84 for the 4th wicket with former West Indies Under-19 cricketer Zamal Khan (26) and a valuable 23 for the 6th wicket with another former West Indies youth cricketer Andre Percival (26 N.O) to see Port Mourant home. Thakurdeen made 59 (10 fours) his second consecutive half century.
Meanwhile, Rose Hall Town Gizmos & Gadgets registered their fourth consecutive victory when they beat Edinburgh by 5 wickets now having eight points, assuring themselves of being in the top three of that zone with only West Berbice or Young Warriors capable of equaling them. They have therefore earned a place in the semi-finals of the competition.
Left arm spinner Sean Jhettoo took 4 for 19 from 8 Overs, his second four-wicket haul in the competition, which together with 3 for 41 from 8 overs from offspinner Andel Doris, helped Police bowl out Skeldon Community Centre for 122. When Police replied, Skeldon’s former Guyana Under-15 offspinner Parmanand Narine took 5 for 32 from 7.5 overs, but Police still managed to win by 3 wickets.
