BERBICE followed up their destruction of Essequibo by 10 wickets on Saturday with a 184-run win over the GCB’s Select X1 at the Port Mourant ground in Corentyne, Berbice, yesterday to remain unbeaten, heading to the city for the remaining rounds.
The home team, batting with shortened boundaries due to overnight and morning rain, reached 264-3 when 29 overs expired.

Ari Afrizal Kadir blasted an unbeaten 72 decorated by four sixes and eight fours and got support from opener Rampersaud Ramnauth who reached the boundary six times and cleared it on three occasions in his 63 and Kevin Kestin made 54 with five fours and three sixes.

Ramnauth and Kestin added 101 in 13.2 overs for the first wicket before Kestin fell to Dave Mahabir for Kadir to join Ramnauth.
But with the score on 142 Ramnauth was bowled by Parmeshwar Ram before Kadir and Sanjay Algoo carried the score to 232 when Algoo was bowled by Mahabir with 4. 3 overs remaining in the innings. His 45 included four sixes and three fours.

Mahabir had 2-51 from his allotted six overs for the GCB’s X1 who were bowled out for 80 as only Shiloh Adams (23), Rashaad Gaffur (16) and Avishkar Persaud (15) reached double figures on the small ground.
Algoo had 3-6 while Raj Tika and Matthew Pottaya, who had a four-wicket haul on Saturday, took two wickets each yesterday.
The next game is set for Everest today. (Sean Devers)
