West Demerara made full use of being inserted to bat as they reached 221 from 41 overs led by number-six batsman, Shakar Ramesh.
Ramesh struck 72 while Mahendra Mohan made a composed 43 to fightback against the likes of Keshna Singh, who grabbed 4-16 from 10 overs while there was a wicket a piece for Roupie Rajaram and Navindra Singh.
