The 2017/2018 Guyana Cricket Board/Demerara Mutual Life Assurance Society Limited/National Sports Commission/National Secondary School Cricket League (GCB/DMLAS/NSC/NSSCL) continued with competitive action in the Essequibo Zone recently.
Parika Salem defeated Leguan Secondary by 10 runs. Parika Salem won the toss and elected to bat. However, they found scoring against the Leguan Secondary bowlers a difficult task, and eventually folded for meagre 46. Bowling for Leguan Secondary, Kamal Shaw grabbed 5 for 23 and Javal Sahoye 4 for 22.
With Leguan Secondary needing just 47 runs for victory, bowlers Wazim Mohamed and Travis Christian set out to defy the odds, by making early inroads into the Leguan batting. Mohamed and Christian were well supported by their fielders who effected three run outs, eventually resulting in Parika Salem clinching victory as Leguan Secondary were bowled out for a paltry 36. Opening Batsman, Naresh Ragabeer (11), was the only batsman to score double figures. For Parika Salem, Wazim Mohamed grabbed four wickets, while Travis Christian had two and Sandave Singh one. Parika Salem won by 10 runs.
