GCB Under-17 Inter-County: Ramdeholl pilots Berbice to 6-wicket win over Demerara

Dominant Berbice commenced their campaign with a win in the Guyana Cricket Board’s (GCB) Male U17 50-Over Inter- County tournament, having produced a 6-wicket victory against Demerara before euphoric supporters at the Everest Ground in Georgetown.
The Berbice outfit won the toss and elected to field, and eventually restricted the firepower of the Demerara batting attack to 196 runs for the loss of eight wickets. Emanuel Lewis led the scoring with 49 runs, and Vickash Wilkinson contributed 15 runs.
Romario Ramdeholl, with his line and length consistency, proved to be pivotal in the Berbicians’ bowling attack, as he managed to disturb his opponents’ stumps on three occasions. Micah Amsterdam took two wickets, and Justin Doobay and Afraz Ali Budhoo each took one wicket.
Set a target of 197 runs, Berbice employed a simple approach, with Captain Afraz Ali Budhoo striking the ball to all parts of the ground in slamming 72* runs as he carried his team across the finish line. Romario Ramdeholl contributed 40 runs to the Berbice cause.
Arun Gainda continued his consistency with the ball in claiming two wickets, while Parmeshwar Ram and Joshua Kissundial each contributed one wicket.
The competition is being used by the national junior selectors to pick the Guyana team to compete in the regional under-17 tournament later this year.
