Adding to the excitement, Regional Sports Officer Wazeeda Bacchus has initiated the inclusion of two female teams, who will compete in an exhibition match to raise awareness of women’s participation in sports.
The first match is scheduled to bowl off at 10:30h, marking the beginning of a day filled with thrilling cricket action. Teams will be competing for over G$400,000 in prize money, further raising the stakes and intensifying the competition.
