The Cotton Tree Under-19 cricket team showed pure dominance against their Blairmont counterparts in the ongoing Berbice Cricket Board Under-19 tournament.
In the game, which was reduced to 40 overs due to early morning rain, Cotton Tree won the toss, batted first, and piled up 359-4 from 40 overs. They then bowled out Blairmont for 41 to complete a 308-run win.
Arif Bacchus slammed a majestic 174 not out to lead Cotton Tree’s charge, while Christopher Baldeo was impressive with his 71 not out. Shoaib Gaffoor chipped in with 62, and Tevon Gladstone made 23.
Blairmont Blazers replied with 41 all out as batters failed to offer resistance to the seam bowling of Arif Khan. The Guyanese youth player Khan claimed 4–16 from five overs to ensure the Cotton Tree demolition job was completed.
Christopher Baldeo and Tardat Dhania had two wickets each for Cotton Tree. Additionally, the Berbice Cricket Board recently honoured the Berbice Under-16 team that won the inter-county tournament.
In a post from the BCB, they extended gratitude to Regional Executive Officer Mr Narindra Persaud for the sponsorship of the awards.
