Demerara began the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) senior female Inter-County limited overs tournament with an eight-wicket win over Essequibo at the Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC), Bourda yesterday.
Because of early morning showers the contest was reduced to a 46-overs-a-side affair but Demerara needed only 16.5 overs to bowl out Essequibo for 39 before chasing the target down in 5.5 overs.
Essequibo, fielding only nine players, won the toss and surprisingly chose to bat, a decision they soon regretted as Heema Singh and Kaycia Schultz bagged four wickets each.
