Kirstan Kallicharan’s East Zone Under-15 team will be going for their fourth consecutive BG T&T InterZone title when they face Cephas Cooper and his South-East side in the final, bowling off today at Inshan Ali Park, Preysal at 10 a.m. and continuing tomorrow from the same time.
Kallicharan has dominated the tournament with the bat, scoring back to back centuries against North-East and another hundred against Tobago in the group stage, before scoring two half-centuries to help East get past Central in their semi-final.
Another big score from him today could put his team on course for another title.
But South-East also boast a good batting line-up, led by skipper Cooper, who also had a good run this season, scoring 107 not out and 70 not out against Central in the group stage and an unbeaten 81 in their semi-final win over North.
Cooper also had good support from Brandon Singh, who slammed 102 against South-West in their final preliminary round match.
