The inaugural Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) National T20 League is set for a thrilling finale as the Essequibo Jaguars and Anacondas prepare to face off on Saturday at Providence Stadium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both teams secured their spots in the final with impressive victories in the semi-finals held on Friday evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first semi-final, the Jaguars overcame the Berbice Piranhas by four wickets, successfully chasing down a modest target of 110. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adrian Sukwah\u2019s solid 46 set the foundation, while Jonathan Rampersaud\u2019s vital 4-wicket haul and Ashmead Nedd\u2019s 3-14 were key to stifling the Piranhas\u2019 batting efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second semi-final, the Anacondas triumphed with a commanding 49-run victory over the Demerara Pitbulls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Batting first, the Anacondas posted 150-8, with Quentin Sampson leading the charge, scoring 47 off 26 balls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite a strong start from the Pitbulls, a sudden collapse saw them all out for just 101 in 15.5 overs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sampson continued his excellent form with the ball, taking 3-6, and Keemo Paul contributed with 2-21 to seal the win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The losing semi-finalists, the Pitbulls and Piranhas, will compete in the third-place playoff, while the final will take place at 19:00 hours at the same venue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day\u2019s festivities will also include a women\u2019s exhibition match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
