The Guyanese contingent continues to impress at the Big Apple Cricket Club (BACC) in New York, putting in standout performances in the Eastern American Cricket Association Division One T20 on Sunday, September 16.
The double-header saw BACC do battle with, and completely dominating, the Gladiators CC and Scorpions CC. The first match was against the Gladiators; and BACC, in opting to bat, made a commanding 196-2, with Guyanese Martin Pestano-Belle coming off an unbeaten 113 in the previous game to frustrate the

opposition by adding 106 alongside his opening partner Khaleem Bux, who made 74; the duo combining for a partnership of 196.
The Gladiators were then sent in to bat, and they were restricted to 108 for 7 in 20 overs. Guyana’s Winston Forrester led the bowling attack, bagging 3 – 9 from 4 overs, with support from Trevon Garaway, who chipped in with 2 – 27 runs.
In the second match of the day, BACC demolished Scorpions, bowling first and restricting them to 126 for 7 in 20 overs.
Yet again, Forrester was among the wickets, while Garaway, Pestano-Belle and Jamal Romain claimed a wicket each.
In reply, BACC chased their target of 128 in 9.2 overs, with the captain, former youth Guyanese player Jamal Hinckson, blasting 67 as Pestano-Belle chipped in with 29 and Forrester was not out on 25.
