Ramdehol, Budhoo spur Berbice to 6-wicket win over Demerara

A Man-of the-Match performance from Romario Ramdehol, and an unfinished 94-run fourth-wicket partnership between skipper Afraz Ali Budhoo and Romesh Bharrat spearheaded Berbice to a six-wicket victory over Demerara at Everest.
The out-of-town side won via the DLS method in the opening round of the GCB 50-over U-17 Inter-County cricket tournament yesterday.

In game which had two stoppages for rain, and was eventually reduced to 33 overs, Budhoo hit four fours and five sixes in a 52-ball unbeaten 72, while Bharrat finished on 30 not-out from 37 balls with a couple of boundaries.
Ramdehol contributed 40 from 37 balls in an innings decorated with five fours and a six, while Razam Kobeer made 22, and Adrian Hetmyer, who struggled for fluency, hit a boundary in his 11, as Berbice reached 197-4 from 30.1 overs.
Spinner Arun Gainda had 2-37 for Demerara, who had earlier made 197-8 in their allotted 33 overs, after being 66 without loss.
Vickash Wilkinson continued his fine form from the DCB Inter-Association tournament by stroking a run-a-ball 44 with two fours and two sixes, while Emanuel Lewis was run out for a compact 49 from 47 balls with four fours and three sixes.
Dhanesh Persaud was not out on 29 from 22 balls with four and two sixes. Parmeshwar Ram made 14, and Jonathan Mentore scored 15, while 35 extras aided the home team’s total.
Ramdehol had 3-21, while Micha Anderson took 2-43 (Sean Devers)
