Kaieteur Sports – West Coast Warriors beat GT Fire by 29 runs last Sunday in the continuation of the 2025 New York National Cricket League (NYNCL) 30-over competition at Beach 32 ground.
The win keeps West Coast Warriors unbeaten with 7 victories now from 8 encounters with one fixture abandoned due to the inclement weather.
After West Coast Warriors were invited to take first knock, they reached a competitive 174-9 from the allotted 30-overs while GT Fire replied with 145 all out in the 25th over.
Off-spinner and player-of-the-match Avi Dhanpaul produced an outstanding bowling performance to help dismiss GT Fire. He grabbed 4-16 from five probing overs.
Dhanpaul received excellent support from leggy Brandon Cabose who finished with 3-33 off five overs while seamer Javed Shafeek collected 2-31 (4).
GT Fire started off their reply brilliantly reaching 115-3 before a sudden collapse.
Vijendra Bhir provided some entertainment with a fiery 65 which contained six sixes and three fours from 32 balls.
Michael Butcher scored 26 and Errol Velaidum added 25 to prolong the response.
Earlier, West Coast Warriors lost inform opener Cabose for 7 at 40-1 before the innings was stabilised by his fellow opener Youghestir Bachan who scored an impressive 63.
Bachan, a former Essequibo Inter-County player, stroked seven fours while occupying the crease for 74 balls.
Dhanpaul, before his wicket-taking display, had demonstrated his batting skills as well with a fluent 37 while runs-machine Kevin Christian added 22 runs. Prior to this innings, Christian, an ex-Guyana youth player, registered a century and chalked up five half-centuries to be the leading runs-scorer (508) so far in this 16-team round-robin competition.
Richie Gayadeen, Navin Dewlall and Avinash Lallbeharry had two wickets each, bowling for GT Fire on a bone-dried surface.
The action is scheduled to continue on Sunday with a bunch of matches. West Coast Warriors will tackle Empire Cricket Club in their next fixture while GT Fire will trade punches with Tricounty Cricket Club.
