Better known for his exploits with the ball, all-rounder Junior Sinclair yesterday turned in a match-winning knock of 36 as an opener to help his side, the Demerara Pitbulls, successfully chase down the Essequibo Jaguars’ total of 96 with two wickets and three balls to spare, to be crowned the champions of the inaugural Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) T10 Blast.

Playing in the final at the Enmore Community Centre Ground, East Coast Demerara, the Pitbulls captain Christopher Barnwell called the toss correctly and sent in his opposite number, Kemol Savory and his side to take first strike.

The Jaguars innings endured a torrid start as they lost four wickets with just 13 runs on the board in 2.4 overs.
