Guyana played Brazil and when the post-match handshakes took place, Guyana had won by a score of 6-3 and picked up their third victory in a row.
After recording 9-6 and 11-4 victories over Austria and Ireland respectively on Tuesday, the Guyanese pair of Rayad Hussain and Farzana Hussain teamed up to defeat Brazil’s Aline Goncalves and Marcio Cerquinho 6-3 in Group E round-robin action.
They play Czech Republic today, and are fourth on the table with three wins and three defeats after six outings; however, according to Rayad, they will not progress to the play-offs ahead of Czech due to their opponents having more victories.
