West Demerara’s skipper Nityanand Mathura struck a composed half-century which spearheaded his side’s 35-run win over East Bank in second-round action of the Under-15 Inter-Association tournament at the Everest Cricket Club ground, Camp Road, yesterday. 

West Demerara, who lost their opening round encounter against Georgetown on Monday, batted first and posted 175 before being dismissed in the 45th over.

Mathura struck a number of lovely fours in his top score of 54 and got support from Wazim Khan (23).

Modesh Kalladeen and Dhanesh Persaud grabbed three wickets each for East Bank who fell to West Demerara

East Bank was generous with their extras which contributed 52 runs to the total. 

Dhanesh Persaud (3-24) and Modesh Kalladeen (3-26) were the chief wicket-takers for East Bank who, in response, stumbled to 140 all out in 48.3 overs. Deonarine Dindyal (36) and Persaud (20) were solid at the top. However, they only got support from Sayad Yaseen (21) as Jeremiah Singh (2-15) and Sachin Balgobin (2-13) spearheaded West Demerara’s successful bowling effort. 

Round three bowls off tomorrow.
