Akshaya Persaud

The Persaud brothers, Ajita and Akshaya ensured Cornelia Ida Cricket Club (CI) a 99-run win over All Youths `B’ Sports Club at the Meten-Meer-Zorg ground in the latest round of the West Demerara Cricket Association (WDCA) T20 tournament  Sunday.

After the contest was reduced to 18 overs-a side due to a late start, CI won the toss and opted to bat first where they piled on 139 for seven from their quota under overcast conditions. CI returned to dismiss All Youths `B’ for 40 in 14.2 overs.
