Nathan Persaud’s 33 and Navindra Persaud’s three wicket haul steered Essequibo to a six wicket win over Demerara in the first match of the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) Inter-County Under-17 50 overs-a-side competition played at the Everest Sports Club ground, yesterday.
The game was forced to be contested in a T20 like format due to interruptions from the weather resulting in both teams having 20 overs each to bat. The start time of 10:00hrs was also pushed back to 14:00hrs because of the rain.
Batting first, Demerara managed to reach a below par total of 92 for 7 in
