Everest Masters, MMZ Masters battle for “Sticky” Jubilee Cup

The highly anticipated ‘Sticky’ Jubilee Cup will see Meten-Meer-Zorg Masters accepting the challenge thrown out by Everest Masters as they battle in a ‘25 overs per side’ cricket match to celebrate the 50th birth anniversary of Ronald ‘Sticky’ Jaisingh today.

A longstanding member of the Everest Cricket Club Masters Team, Jaisingh has opted for a cricket celebration since most of his adult life has been spent in cricket, as a player and administrator, especially along the East Bank of Demerara.
A dominant force on the local scene, Everest Masters reached out to the Odyssey Transportation Services-sponsored Meten-Meer-Zorg (MMZ) Masters Team to have this game played for the occasion, and the MMZ Masters have accepted the challenge.
In their most recent match, MMZ Masters eked out a win over the Media XI in a nail- biting finish, and will be looking to continue their winning ways; while the Everest Masters recently regained their winning ways with a comprehensive victory over Bartica Masters, after losing four consecutive matches in and out of Guyana.
In the MMZ Masters/Media XI matchup, the Masters side played with class and finesse to dominate the entire encounter. Their bowling was on point, and their spinners were able to grab early wickets in the ‘power-play’ overs and at the end of the game, when it was crunch time.
The teams will wear coloured clothing and will play with the pink ball. The first ball is expected to be bowled at 12:30h.
The Odyssey MMZ Masters’ representation will come from Troy Khan (captain), Muneshwar Balgobin, Mohan Chatram, Vinod Rajkumar, Jetendra Kishore, Hemandra Kowlessar, Sham Persaud, Gary Headley, Mohamed Willie, Zaheer Haniff, Chabiraj Ramcharran, Naaiem Habib, Abid Haniff and Zamal Khan.
Everest Masters’ representation will come from Rajesh Singh (captain), Sahadeo Hardaiow, Saheed Mohamed, Hemraj Garbarran, Azemul Hanif, Basil Persaud, Imtiaz Sadik, Robert Pereira, Robin Bharat, Ucil Armstrong, John Ramsingh, Safraz Sheriffudeen, Ravi Narayan, Nadir Baksh and Ronald Jaisingh.
