The Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) is contemplating a replay of the two-day first division semi-final fixture between Young Warriors and Rose Hall Town. This comes after the two-day match between the sides resulted in a draw, and Young Warriors ensured that Rose Hall Town did not win first-innings points.
The match featured high-profile players; Shimron Hetmyer, Kevin Sinclair, Kevlon Anderson, and Junior Sinclair, among others. Kevin Sinclair’s masterful 175 led Rose Hall Town to 403-8 declared, while Seon Hetmyer’s 106 led Young Warriors’ reply to 360-9.
With the BCB being reactive in nature, a meeting will be hosted shortly to determine who will join Albion in the final of the two-day tournament. This information was posted on the BCB’s official Facebook page.
Notably, the match started late at the Young Warriors ground last weekend due to rain, and approximately three hours of play were lost. Young Warriors played their preliminary games and remained unbeaten throughout the tournament. The East Canje-based side are hoping they are the team that qualifies for the final after their golden run.
How did the game go?
Batting first, Rose Hall Town posted a mammoth 403-8 declared from 88.3 overs. Sinclair struck 15 fours and eight sixes in his 175. He was supported by Junior Sinclair, who made 51. Kevlon Anderson scored 40 while batting at number three.
Bowling for the first time in first-division cricket, Shimron Hetmyer claimed 2-27. He was on a hat-trick when Rose Hall Town declared with two wickets left. Left-arm spinner Trevon Stanislaus claimed 2-109 from 27 overs.
In response, the runs continued to flow as Young Warriors posted 360-9 from 93 overs. In addition to Seon Hetmyer’s elegant 106, Suresh Dhanai, batting at number 10, scored an unbeaten 61 to deny Rose Hall Town first-innings points.
The older Hetmyer struck 15 fours and one six. Earlier, Martin Singh made 55 for Young Warriors, while Amir Khan made an unbeaten 35. Shimron Hetmyer, batting at four, made 21.
