Action in the Sherwin Williams Second Division T20 Cup 2026/27 continued yesterday across various venues in Georgetown, with GYO Mystic Marvels and Guyana Defence Force (GDF) registering convincing victories in their respective encounters.
GYO Mystic Marvels pulled off a hard-fought 16-run win over Guyana National Industrial Company Incorporated (GNIC) in a competitive clash.

GNIC’s bowling effort was spearheaded by David Dick, Jamain Grosvenor, and Chandrika Persaud, each claiming three wickets.
In response, GNIC faltered in their chase despite a spirited effort from Chandrika Persaud, who remained unbeaten on 27 from 21 balls, striking five boundaries. Jamain Grosvenor contributed 18, but the rest of the batting lineup struggled against disciplined bowling. Amir Khan was the standout performer, delivering an impressive spell of four for 20 to help dismiss GNIC for 118 in 19.4 overs.
In another match, the Guyana Defence Force delivered a commanding performance to crush the University of Guyana by eight wickets.
