A match-winning spell from 11- year-old leg-spinner Riyad Latif spun Demerara past defending champions Berbice in the final of this year’s Guyana Cricket Board Dave West Indian Imports Under-15 Inter-County one day competition at the Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC), Bourda, yesterday. 

Demerara won by seven wickets.

 Latif, who looked unplayable, bamboozled Berbice’s middle order to snare 4-29 from his full complement of 10 overs as Berbice were bundled out for a mere 72 in 40.4 overs. He was supported by off-spinner Krishna Singh who finished with 2-4 from 6.4 overs.
