Berbice gain easy win over Essequibo

GCB Female Inter-County U-19 T20

– set to clash with Demerara for title today

Berbice defeated Essequibo in a five-over affair as rain hampered second round action of the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) Female Inter-County Under-19 T20 tournament.
Played yesterday at the Everest Cricket Club Ground, the team from the Ancient County triumphed by 10 wickets over its Cinderella County opponents.
Essequibo scored 17-4 from their allotted five overs, while Berbice replied with 18 without loss from five legal deliveries.
Due to the win Berbice moved to five points, after picking up one point from an abandoned first round clash against the President’s XI.
They are joint leaders with Demerara, who also defeated Essequibo, while the President’s XI has one point and Essequibo is yet to get off the mark.
Demerara’s clash with the President’s XI was abandoned because of the wet outfield caused by heavy morning rain on Saturday.
In the final round today, Essequibo will take on the President’s XI from 9:00h, while the champions will be decided after the Berbice and Demerara clash, which is expected to get underway at 13:30h.
The venue is the Everest Cricket Club Ground.
