THE inaugural Bartica Premier League (BPL) T20 tournament witnessed a weekend of explosive batting, with Inzaman Bacchus and Orrin Gibson both smashing centuries at Daag Point Ground.
A&L Trendsetters set a daunting target of 309-8 after Underdogs won the toss and elected to field.
The innings was dominated by the remarkable centuries of Bacchus and Gibson.

Bacchus blazed his way to 101 off just 36 balls, a display of power hitting that thrilled the local crowd. Gibson followed closely, crafting a similarly destructive 101 from 43 deliveries.
Massiah Joseph (23) and Shawn Garraway (21) provided valuable support to the centurions.

Despite Christopher Kassim’s impressive figures of 4-33, the sheer weight of runs proved too much for Underdogs. They were eventually dismissed for 127 in 17.3 overs.
Derick Ramdahnie (36) and Curtis Simmons (24) offered some resistance, but David Williams (4-16) and Alvero DaCosta (3-16) ripped through the batting lineup.

In the second match, Gladiators opted to bowl first, a decision that paid off handsomely. Mavericks struggled to build partnerships and were bowled out for 115 in 16.5 overs.
Curtis James (26) and Teddy Wong (23) were the only batsmen to reach double figures, as Delroy Brown (3-5) and Marvin Peters (3-23) delivered devastating spells.

Gladiators made light work of the run chase, reaching 119-3 in just 11.2 overs. Yusuf Khan led the charge with a stylish 60, supported by Raymond Jabar’s 39.
