Zeynul Ramsammy

The Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) Government of Guyana (GOG) Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport (MCYS), Under-19 Boys Inter-Club Super-50 Tournament 2023 continued on Tuesday, April 4, with recorded wins for Tucber Park CC, Rose Hall Canje Arborsmart, and No.73 Young Warriors/Radha Krishna
Foundation; and in Demerara, there were wins for Everest, Transport and Peter’s Hall.

Summary of Scores:
Tucber Park beat Edinburgh by 153 runs
A massive total of 293-9 was amassed thanks mainly to national youth player Zeynul Ramsammy, who stroked 16 fours and a few sixes in his majestic 136. Support from opener Kevin Kisten, who set the tone with 73, was enough to negate the expertise of Edinburgh &#39s Wesley Castello, who picked up 5-45 amidst the chaos.
In response, Edinburgh was kept to 140, with Jarvon Wharton (22) being the main scorer, following some incisive bowling from Marvin Arjune (3-13), while Kisten (3-26) and Ramsammy (2-28) returned to provide impetus.
