The Hardtimes Tape Ball Tournament bowled off on Sunday, September 7, with two exciting matches, including a dramatic opener between the two Guyanese-registered teams.

In the first match, the Rakeesh-led Unstoppables batted first, posting 57 runs from their allotted ten overs. Vishal was the standout performer, top-scoring with 17.

Chasing a modest target, the Chris-led Paradise Kings started aggressively, smashing 21 runs in the very first over. But the momentum shifted when Rakeesh struck back with three quick wickets, leaving the Kings reeling.

The contest went down to the wire, with the Kings needing just one run from the final over. They eventually crossed the line at 58 for 8, sealing a nail-biting victory with four balls to spare. Chris top-scored with 12 in the tense run chase.
