President Ali witnesses thrilling action in final of Commander-in-Chief Inter-Service T20
President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, Dr Irfaan Ali witnessed the exciting final of the Commander-in-Chief Inter-Service T20 cricket competition at the Police Sports Club Ground at Eve Leary on Sunday.
It took a super over to decide the winners as the Guyana Police Force (GPF) held their nerve to win the championship clash against the Guyana Defence Force (GDF).
GDF batted first and made 134 for the loss of eight wickets. In reply, GPF managed a similar inning, which carried the game into a super over.
GPF batted first and scored seven runs from their six balls, and were able to restrict GDF to three runs after two of their batsmen lost their wickets via the runout route.
President Ali, Prime Minister Phillips and the teams
Prime Minister, Brigadier (Retired) Mark Phillips; Home Affairs Minister Robeson Benn; GDF Chief of Staff, Brigadier Godfrey Bess and Police Commissioner (ag) Clifton Hicken also witnessed the game.
