Youth cricket made its return with Demerara beating Essequibo by 76 runs in the Guyana Cricket Board/Hand-In-Hand Under-19 Inter-County one-day tournament yesterday.
The first-round match at the La Bonne Intention Ground, East Coast Demerara, was reduced to 38 overs a side to accommodate Essequibo returning home. Demerara won the toss and opted to bat, posting 162 for eight from their allotted overs before limiting Essequibo to 86 all out in 27.2 overs.
Essequibo got the upper hand early after tall, right-arm fast bowler, Jason Holder, found the edge of explosive opener Sachin Singh with the second ball of the innings.
