Affiance Sports Club, Reliance Hustlers Sports Club, and Richmond United Sports Club all secured victories last Sunday as action continued in the North Essequibo Cricket Committee (NECC)/Jairam Bisessar T20 competition.
At Affiance, the home team demolished Reliance Sports Club by a massive 165 runs. Batting first, Affiance piled up 191-7 from their 20 overs before bowling out Reliance for a mere 26 in the 11th over.
Former Guyana youth player Parmesh Parsotam starred with a fine all-round display, scoring 47 and grabbing 3-11 from three overs. Fellow seamer Beesham Narine also impressed with 3-6 from 2.2 overs. Earlier, Amit Persaud top-scored with 51, while Haimant Singh added 30.
Over at the Reliance ground, Reliance Hustlers overcame Renegades by five wickets.
Renegades were dismissed for 92 in the final over, thanks largely to a fiery spell from Ryan Shivamber, who bagged 5-27 from his four overs. Left-arm spinner Bhesham Seepersaud, another former Guyana youth player, chipped in with 3-2 from just 1.1 overs.
In reply, Reliance Hustlers chased down the target with 32 balls to spare, led by an unbeaten 50 from Rovindra Parsram. For the visitors, Mark Gonsalves (29) and W Holder (25) offered the main resistance.
Meanwhile, at the Richmond facility, Richmond United posted 175-5 from their 20 overs before bowling out Bacchus Eagles for 152 in 19.3 overs to claim victory by 23 runs.
Sugrim Ahiram top-scored for the winners with a well-crafted 69, supported by skipper Punraj Singh (39) and Glendon Smith (21). Smith then starred with the ball, claiming 4-17 from four overs to seal the win, despite a valiant 81 from Roy Scoutin of Bacchus Eagles.
The round-robin competition continues today.
