GCA dismisses East Bank by 149 runs to lift title

Dave Mohabir

The winner of the Demerara Cricket Board’s (DCB) Inter-Association U19 50-Over competition was never in doubt, but the Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA) cemented their status as the best association in the zone with a 149-run dismantling of their East Bank Cricket Association (EBCA) counterparts.

After winning the toss and electing to bat, Alvin Mohabir struck a vital 54 off 48 with eight fours and two maximums, while Mavindra Dindyal (37), Jayden Dowlin (30), and Dave Mohabir (25) helped take GCA to 212-10.

They had an inauspicious start to their innings, losing opener Ryan Latif in the second over with the score at 18. However, Dindyal and skipper Mohabir staged a revival; however, after the duo’s dismissals, wickets fell regularly, and it was only through Dowlin and Dave Mohabir’s rearguard cameos that they took their side to a respectable total before being bowled out inside 40 overs.
