The Skyy Vodka 20/20 Knock-out Cricket Tournament organised by the Berbice Cricket Board started last weekend with two matches. Rose Hall Town Gizmos & Gadgets defeated Rose Hall Canje by 65 runs, Skeldon continued their impressive start to the 2018 First Division season by eight wickets, while Albion Cricket Club and Upper Corentyne were granted walkovers over West Berbice and Young Warriors respectively after both teams failed to turn up for unknown reasons. Blairmont drew the BYE and as such advanced to the next round as well.
At the Rose Hall Canje Ground, the home team won the toss and elected to field. Rose Hall Town Gizmos & Gadgets opened with Vidal Crandon and the veteran Jason Sinclair, who added fifteen for the first wicket in five overs. The batsmen struggled on a wicket with a lot of preparation moisture but Andy Naidu 21 and Clinton Pestano 31 batted positively as Sinclair played the defensive role to remain unbeaten on a carefully constructed 41, which just contained two boundaries. Naidu hit two sixes while National Player Pestano hit three huge sixes and two boundaries in his innings as Rose Hall Town Gizmos & Gadgets reached 130 for 5 in their 20 overs.
Bowling for the home team, K. Ramsarran claimed 4 for 24, while left arm spinner Mark Sampson took 1 for 9 from his four overs. In response, Rose Hall Canje were restricted to 65 all out from sixteen overs. Sasenarine Sukhdeo struck 36 to be the only batsman to reach double figures. Sukhdeo struck two sixes and three boundaries in his innings. Shawn Perreira, Eon Hooper and Keith Simpson each took two wickets for 10, 13 and 14 respectively, while Sylus Tyndall, Clinton Pestano and Jonathan Rampersaud took one wicket each.
At the No, 73 Ground, Tucber Park Cricket Team batted first and reached 111 all out from 10 overs as only Garfield Benjamin 33, K. Michael 17, D. Talack 14 and Marlon Mickle 12 reached double figures. Bowling for Skeldon, Jermaine Reid took 4 for 5 from his four overs and Sherwin Murray 2 for 25. In response, Skeldon Cricket Team reached 114 for 7 with Charles France top scoring with 51 and he received support from Triston Ramnauth 16 and D. Charitar 17. Bowling for Tucber Park Cricket Team, C. Tanner took 2 wickets for 18 runs and R. Vankenic 2 wickets for 20 runs.
Berbice Cricket Board President Hilbert Foster stated that he was pleased that the 2018 First Division season was finally underway and stated that the season would include the Patron’s Cup, Skyy Vodka 20/20, Pepsi 50-Overs, Busta 40-Overs, Brian Ramphal Double Wicket and one more Tournament. He called on Clubs to get themselves in order and he stated that those who cannot follow the new sets of rules, would be left behind as the Berbice Cricket Board is enforcing a no non-sense attitude towards discipline and the behavior of First Division Teams.
