GCB Inter-County Super50

– Essequibo through to finals via NRR

The Demerara juggernaut remains unstoppable after beating Essequibo in the third and final round of the round robin stage in the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) Inter-County Super50 Championship at the GCC ground, Bourda.

Batting first, the defending champion were bowled out for 227 in 46 overs. Despite making what seemed a below-par total, Demerara returned with the ball to skittle Essequibo for 190, winning by 37 runs.

Despite the loss, Essequibo has qualified for tomorrow’s final via a superior Net Run Rate (NRR), edging Berbice and the GCB Select XI, despite all three of them ending the round-robin stage on one win each with two losses.
