Kaieteur News – Police beat MMZ USA by 69 runs as the visitors ended their 12-day tour to Guyana on Sunday.
Playing at the Meten-Meer-Zorg ground the West Coast of Demerara in Region 3, the consistent Kevin Christian (47), Kemol Savory (32) and 23 from Andrew Lyght junior and Quinton Sampson, Police reached 173-7 in 20 overs.
Andy Mohammed took 2-21 for MMZ USA who were all out for 104 with Sheldon Alexander (39) being the only batter to reach 15 as Jason Heyliger took 5-25 and Troy Benn supporting with 2-21 for the Lawmen.
Former Guyana U-19 Wicket-Keeper Ejaz Asgarally who played in 1987 in Jamaica, 1988 in Barbados and 1989 in Guyana is now Manager of the MMZ USA team and said the tour to Guyana was beyond expectations.
“It was not just about playing cricket but was also to experience the beauty of our beautiful County of Guyana.
The cricket was very exciting for the boys, who for most of them were playing on turf wicket for the first time. Playing against the likes of Hemraj, Kemo Paul, young Chanderpaul and others was truly and amazing experience,” said Asgarally who grew up in West Demerara before migrating to the USA.

“Andy Mohammed, the skipper of the team had a disappointed tour with the bat but led the team with admiration. Having played 10 games in 12 days, winning five and losing five is not an easy task.
We had outstanding performances from former Guyana youth player Renaldo Renee, who smacked a brilliant unbeaten century against Enmore Cricket club, while Malcolm Hobbard, Samuel Raghubir, Cornelius Jaisingh and Ricky Kissoon all contributed at different times,” stated Asgarally who played First Division cricket for Police.
The Manager thanked all of the sponsors and everyone who helped in some way to make the tour a success, especially Troy Khan and his Family and Nazar Mohamed from Mohamed’s Enterprise.
“With games in Essequibo, Demerara and Berbice it was truly an amazing experience for the touring team.
The team visited Kaiteur falls and the Shaheed boys and girls Orphanage. MMZ USA also visited the Honourable Minister of Sport Mr Charles Ramson and GCB President Mr Bissoondyal Singh,” concluded Asgarally.
