Guyana faces Trinidad and Tobago in the final of the President's Cup after easily beating Combined Campuses and Colleges (CCC) in the second semi-final played on Tuesday. The Guyanese bowlers stiffled the Combined Campuses' batting line up as they could only muster 151 in 48.3 overs. Royston Crandon took 4 wickets and Devendra Bishoo 3 to demolish CCC. Shivnarine Chanderpaul then guided Guyana home with an unbeaten 50 in 40.3 overs.
Guyana with a strong batting line-up, were set back early in their innings chasing the modest 151 thanks to Kevin McClean. McClean picked up two early wickets to have the Guyanese at a nervous 11 for 2. Narsingh Deonarine and Ramnaresh Sarwan however recovered and pulled the hosts out of that hole and back on coarse. Deonarine made 31 and Sarwan 35 not out. Sarwan then went on with Chanderpaul to win the game. Chanderpaul with his 50, was named the Man of the Match.
The final will be played at Providence Stadium on Wednesday against Trinidad & Tobago.
