Zeynul Ramsammy on the attack during his 89
Zeynul Ramsammy and Seon Hetmyer made belligerent half-centuries as Sip & Play Warriors made a powerful statement of their intentions to win the Berbice zone in the third edition of the Kares One Guyana T10 Tapeball Blast.
Ramsammy struck a superb 89 from 24 balls, hitting nine sixes and three fours while Hetmyer, the elder brother of Shimron Hetmyer, made an unbeaten 82 (2x4s, 10x6s) from 25 balls as Sip & Play piled on 209-3, the highest total in the history of the tournament.

In response, The Organisation folded for 98-5 in their allotted 10 overs at the Port Mourant Community Centre Ground on Saturday.
Sip & Play will now await the winners of Montra Jaguars and Name Brand Titans match-up to play one of the two semi-finals today.
The star-studded Montra overcame a spirited effort by the youthful New Amsterdam unit, as they successfully chased 76 in 6.4 overs after some early jitters.
Sachin Singh (27*), Jonathon Foo (20), and Raymond Perez (14*) got them over the line after Richard Ramdeholl (24) and Adrian Hetmyer (21) showed their immense talent.

Name Brand Titans defeated Tucber Park by 15 runs after they posted 115-5.
Over at Number 48 Ground, only two of the five matches were contested due to persistent rain in the afternoon.
The morning winners in the round of 16 were The Organisation over D’Edward Sports Club and Corriverton Spartans against Line Path Raptors.
The remaining round-of-16 fixtures are Ethan XI against Line Path Select XI and Team Legacy against Cotton Tree Die Hard.
On Sunday, the organiser, FL Sport, aimed to use three venues – Port Mourant, Number 48, and Jai Hind, to ensure the zone could be concluded on the day.
The zone winner will receive $300,000 and a spot in the national playoffs on August 3 at the National Stadium.
