DCB U19 Inter-Association Super 50 Tournament: G/t Cricket Assn overpower West Demerara counterparts
Shiloh Adams has showcased his batting prowess with a remarkable innings that has led the Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA) to register a commanding performance against the West Demerara Cricket Association (WDCA) in a match of the Demerara Cricket Board Under-19 Inter-Association Super 50 tournament played at the Meten-Meer-Zorg ground and before West Demerara fans on Friday, April 11th, 2025.
Shiloh Adams made 94 from 104 balls
Having won the toss, GCA elected to bat, and laid the foundation for a solid innings through a 51-run opening stand between Romeo Deonarain and Shiloh Adams.
Udesh Seetaram and Navendra Sankar produced brilliant bowling spells to drag the WDCA team back into the game. Key batsmen Emmanuel Lewis, Johnathan Van Lange and Shamar Apple were all dismissed for disappointing scores as Sankar’s tally of 4 wickets for 44 runs and Seetaram’s tally of 3 for 38 kept WDCA in contention for the win.
Adams’s returns of 94 runs from 104 balls, which included 7 fours and 5 sixes, were key to GCA achieving a respectable total. Ryan Latif with 29 and Dave Mohabir with 24 helped GCA to record a total of 223 all out in the 48th over.
The WDCA run chase began in the worst possible way: with Renaldo Grenville trapping Seetaram lbw with the first ball bowled. The hosts never got into the game thereafter, as they constantly lost wickets and were completely outplayed and outclassed throughout the innings. Arvin Suknanand, with 18, was the only WDCA batsman to reach double figures.
Eventually the WDCA innings folded for 84 runs in 29 overs, and they lost the game by 139 runs.
Riyad Latif, who led the GCA bowling attack, had figures of 3 for 19; and Captain Van Lange and Jayden Dowlin each took 2 wickets.
