All-rounder Carlos La Rose turned in a solid performance with bat and ball to push the Demerara Hawks to a 7-wicket win over the Berbice Caimans when action continued in the GCB/Betcage Sports National T20 League. Playing at the GCB’s LBI Facility on the East Coast of Demerara, the Caimans won the toss and elected to bat.

They then proceeded to produce an abysmal performance with the bat, as the Hawks led by La Rose and Ezekiel Wilson struck frequently while maintaining a stranglehold on runs.

By the 11th over of the Caiman innings, they were in dire straits at 35/5 with Wilson leading the line with three pivotal strikes, removing opener Shamal Angel (5), Ronaldo Renee (1) and Rivaldo Phillips for a duck to break the backbone of the Caimans’ batting order. La Rose meanwhile bowled Shaquille Williams (1) while Sachin Singh (14), too, was removed via the same way by Chanderpaul Ramraj.
