Barker’s 6-for, Watkins’ blitz and Dick’s 136 headline T20 weekend

The Sherwin Williams Second Division T20 Cup 2026/27 continued in exciting fashion over the weekend, with dominant performances highlighting the latest round of matches.
Malteenoes Sports Club (MSC) extended their winning streak, Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) got the better of rivals Demerara Cricket Club (DCC), and Police Sports Club made it two wins from two outings.

Malteenoes produced one of the standout performances of the round, with a crushing 104-run victory over Diplomats. After being sent in to bat, MSC piled up an imposing 217 for 5 in their 20 overs. Opening batsman Nichosie Barker set the tone with a fluent 75 off 47 balls, while veteran Marcus Watkins stole the spotlight with a blistering 88 from 51 deliveries, striking nine fours and five sixes. Elvis Patroir was the pick of the bowlers with two wickets.
Diplomats never recovered from the early pressure and were bowled out for 113 in 19.4 overs. Daniel Scott and Vickash Mirchand offered some resistance with 28 apiece, but it was Barker who turned the game decisively with the ball, claiming a sensational six-wicket haul, including a hat-trick, to seal a comprehensive victory.

Meanwhile, GCC secured bragging rights in their clash against DCC. After opting to field, GCC restricted DCC to 131 for 8, thanks largely to disciplined bowling led by Yeudistir Persaud (3 for 21) and Krsna Singh (2 for 16). Alphius Bookie top-scored with 45, while Jaden Dowlin chipped in with 23.
In response, GCC chased down the target in 18.3 overs, finishing on 133 for 6. Nicholas Shiopersaud and Rivaldo Phillips both contributed 31, while Kenrord Moensammy added a valuable 25, guiding the team to a four-wicket win.
In the final match of the weekend, Police Sports Club delivered a batting masterclass against the University of Guyana. After winning the toss and batting first, Police Sports Club amassed a massive 258 for 4 in their 20 overs. Dwayne Dick produced a stunning innings of 136 from just 58 balls, smashing 17 fours and eight sixes. He was well supported by Andrew Lyte, who scored a quickfire 54 off 29 balls.

The University of Guyana struggled in reply and could only manage 95 for 7. Yeshua Hutson stood firm with an unbeaten 51, but lacked support as Police’s bowlers, led by Jeffery Blair and Kapildeo Charandeen with two wickets each, wrapped up a comfortable win.
With momentum building in the tournament, Malteenoes remain the team to beat, while Georgetown and Police Sports Club continue to strengthen their positions as serious contenders.
