Angel ready to take AJM Mash It Up cricket tournament by storm
Senior Berbice all-rounder Shamal Angel is ready to take the AJM Mash It Up T20 cricket tournament by storm on Saturday, February 24, at the Bush Lot Sports Complex Ground, West Coast Berbice.
This premier cricket tournament will have more than one million dollars in cash and prizes up for grabs, and Angel has set his sights ‘in the right direction’. He
has been in red-hot form with the bat, and this West Berbice local, who plays for Achievers, is fresh off good outings with the Guyana Defence Force team.
This is that right-hander who scored an unbeaten 129 against Cotton Tree Young Guns in the previous AJM second division tournament in West Berbice, and he is confident of recording good scores again.
“I am looking forward to doing good yet again, just continuing from the previous AJM tournament that I played last year,” a confident Angel has said. “It was usual conditions, a bit more competitive cricket from the teams, but I managed to pull through and was successful nevertheless.”
Asked if his hot streak with the bat would continue, Angel said: “Yes! I have that confidence to continue my bling form in the upcoming AJM tournament, no big changes. I just want to continue doing what worked for me previously, and do it with a bit more intent.”
The AJM Mash It Up tournament is a one-day event, and the matches will be fast-paced, but Angel is up for the challenge.
“I will try my best to adapt to the conditions of that day as fast as possible, so that I can work to my game plan,” Angel explained.
The top-order batsman had scores of 129*,68, 61* and 36* in the previous AJM second-division tournament. Last weekend, Angel slammed 93 for the GDF side, and propelled his team to victory.
Four teams in the West Berbice area will be on show at the AJM Mash It Up T20 tournament on February 24: AJM defending T20 champions Cotton Tree Sports Club; D’ Edward Sports Club; Achievers ‘A’, and Bush Lot Sports Club.
The day’s activity will commence at 09:00h, and the final will be played under lights. There will be big screen, commentary, and live scores at the venue, with Crown Vibes International providing sounds.
This tournament promises a CPL atmosphere, the organisers have predicted. Cheerleaders will be on show, in addition to other side attractions.
