At Enmore, East Coast took first strike and made 149-6 off their reduced 36 overs due to seepage on the pitch. Rajendra Singh top scored with 41 and Andrew Samaroo made 39. East Bank responded with 102-9. Andsuegga Rodrigues and Jamal Michael top scored with 17 each. Hemant Dindyal grabbed 4-15 and Samaroo 2-16.
Manager of East Bank team Rohan Sarjoo expressed his disappointment with the delay of the game which he said was caused by poor covers. He also informed that the water for the players were not available until after 11:00hrs.
The competition continues this weekend. On Saturday East Coast and West Demerara will battle at Ogle ground, while East Bank will take on Georgetown at Everest ground. On Sunday East Bank Demerara will clash with West Demerara at Ogle ground and Georgetown will go up against East Coast at Enmore ground.
