Kaieteur Sports – Right-arm seamer Javed Shafeek snared 6-42 to help West Coast Warriors thrash Whim Boyz by a comprehensive, 78-run margin in the continuation of the 2026 Commonwealth Cricket League (CCL) 30-over tournament in New York last Sunday.
On a pitch that offered appreciated bounce at Seaview Front ground, Shafeek delivered his maximum six overs as Whim Boyz were skittled for 146 in the 18th over.
The USA-based Guyanese got excellent support from another medium-pacer bowler, Kenly Adams, who captured 2-21 in 4.1 overs.
Whim Boys had a disastrous start in pursuit of 225 target set by West Coast Warriors. They were reeling at 27-6 at one stage with Shafeek, who played for Parika Salem Sports Club in Guyana, triggering the early collapse. But a late-order resistance from Hemraj Seepersaud and Ajaikumar Thakoordeen with 38 each only prolonged the inevitability.
Earlier, West Coast Warriors won the toss and opted to take first knock. They justified the decision after Anthony Providence and the inform Youghestir Bachan laid a solid foundation with a 76-run partnership in just 9 overs.
Bachan eventually top-scored with 51 while Providence was unfortunately run out after a terrible mixed-up with his opening partner. He contributed 36, though.
Warriors still kept the momentum going as Chandrapaul Persaud also chalking up an impressive half-century striking a 38-ball 50 which contained three sixes and four fours.
Before Bachan was adjudged leg-before to off-spinner Yaadram Jagasshwar, he already caressed eight boundaries during his 54-ball occupation at the crease.
Former Essequibo youth player Brandon Cabose also was among the runs with 26. Rajendra Latcha grabbed 3-33 from four overs to be most successful bowler for Whim Boyz and Joel Pharous supporting him with two scalps having conceded 48 runs in six expensive overs.
The win cements West Coast Warriors at the top of the table with 11 points recording 5 wins from 6 games, while the Whim Boyz remain in trouble with only four points after four defeats from six outings.
Meanwhile, the 12-team tournament is scheduled to resume this coming Sunday. Warriors will clash with QCC Monarchy while Whim Boyz are set to confront SinghBoys.
