Despite a fine all round effort from Guyana Defence Force (GDF) player Leon Andrews, Guyana Police Force won the Balram Raghubir Inter-Service T20 Tournament on Wednesday after defeating their arch rivals from the military unit by four wickets at the Police Sports Club Ground, Eve Leary.

Opting to take first strike, the military unit was restricted to 122-8 in 20 overs as the lawmen made scoring difficult for them. Leon Andrews smashed a six and three fours for a top score of 44 and was supported by Isaiah Brijadder 19 and former national under 19 player Daneon Waldron.
Grisean Grant (2-13) and off spinner Jason Heyliger (2-32) were the main bowlers for Police, who was outstanding in the field.
The hosts, who defeated GDF in the round robin, rushed to victory with 123-6 in 17.4 overs. O’ Donnel Hill made a responsible 32 and was assisted by Heyliger who remained unbeaten on 32. Andrews returned with the ball to claim 3-16 but that could not prevent Police from winning the match.
Heyliger was named man of the match for being instrumental in the win with his all-round brilliance.
