Former Guyana Under-19 captain Harrinarine Chattergoon slammed a match winning 72 for Port Mourant Karibee Rice which was good enough to lead them to victory over Bermine and to see them through to the semi-finals of the 2012 Tenelec Inc First Division 50-Over Cricket Competition in Berbice.
In the play-off contested at the Port Mourant Ground and which was reduced to 40-Overs-a-side due to late preparation causing a late start, Port Mourant won the toss and chose to bat first with Chattergoon and Joshua Ramsammy opening the batting.
The two proceeded to withstand all that Bermine could throw at them and with Chattergoon dominating they featured in an opening stand of 105 in 19.2 overs before Chattergoon was caught off left arm spinner Troy Mickle for 72 made off 75 balls in 70 minutes and which included 9 fours and 2 sixes.
Ramsammy continued and he put on 45 for the 2nd wicket with former Berbice and Guyana allrounder Vijay Sewnarine (15). After Ramsammy eventually fell for 44, contribution from Devendra Thakurdeen (17), Boughnarine Persaud (29) and Yudendra Harrinarine (21 N.O) saw Port Mourant to 221 for 5 in their 40-Overs. Mickle ended with 2 for 47 from 8 overs.
When Bermine replied after a promising opening stand of 18, offspinner Chattergoon soon accounted for both openers – Joemal La Fleur (12) and Hakeem Hinds (12) to have Bermine 28 for 2. Trinson Bynoe tried a repair job, putting on 29 for the 3rd wicket with Jamally Odle (14) and 25 for the 4th wicket with Romario Shepherd De Jonge (17) before he fell for 31 at 101 for 5.
Damien Vantull then joined forces with Keion De Jesus and together they did well to put on 73 but with the pressure of the required rate hovering around 9 per over, they both fell in quick succession. From 174 for 5 Bermine slipped to 175 for 8 and eventually folded for 200 in 38.3 overs with Vantull topscoring with 43 and De Jesus making 31.
Bowling for Port Mourant, Thakurdeen took 2 for 27 from 6.3 overs while Chattergoon and Harrinarine each took 2 for 34 from 8 and 7 overs respectively.
Young Warriors Universal DVD, Rose Hall Town Gizmos & Gadgets as well as Albion Community Centre are the other three semi-finalists.
The semi-finals are scheduled for Sunday.
