The Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) defeated the Guyana Police Force (GPF) by an innings and 20 runs, thanks to Ezekiel Wilson’s six-wicket haul and big half-centuries from Brandon Jaikarran and Jonathan Van Lange.
Playing at their home ground, DCC won the toss on Saturday and sent in Police to bat. Things looked solid as openers; Troy Leitch (16) and Troy Benn (19) stitched together a 40-run opening partnership, but the former’s dismissal sparked a collapse of epic proportions as the next nine wickets fell for the addition of just 49 runs. Benn followed Leitch back to the pavilion with the score at 51, and from there it went all downhill. While Dexter George accounted for the openers, Wilson ran through the middle order to end with first-inning figures of 6-22 (8 overs), while George finished with 3-14 (3 overs), and Jaden Dowlin had 1-7 (4 overs).
