GCA 50-Over: Imlach’s 156 leads DCC’s demolition job of GCC

Tevin Imlach’s magnificent 156 powered Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) to a dominant 131-run victory over Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) in the Dave’s West Indian Imports/Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA) First-Division 50-over competition on Saturday at GCC.

Imlach, fresh off another stellar knock in this tournament and departing for national duty today (Sunday), anchored DCC’s massive 352-8.

The Guyana Harpy Eagles skipper faced 130 balls and strict ten fours and four maximums.

Joshua Persaud’s unbeaten 53 from 32 balls provided late fireworks, while Jonathan Van Lange (39), Raymond Perez (23), and Sachin Singh (23) contributed but failed to convert into a big score.

Devon Lord (3-64) and Kevin Sinclair (2-66) were the main wicket-takers for the home side.

GCC’s chase crumbled as they were bowled out for 221 in 49.3 overs. Navindra Persaud missed out on a deserved ton as he ended unbeaten on 96 (10x4s) from 136 balls.

But other than Sinclair, who made 38, GCC showed little resistance as  Christopher Barnwell (3-42), Ashmead Nedd (2-26), and Jaden Dowlin (2-28) ripped through the batting.

DCC cruised past Malteenoes Sports Club in a previous match as Van Lange’s 111 (7x4s; 7x6s) from 73 balls propelled DCC to 320-6 in 41 overs.

Malteenoes were bundled out for 112, with spinners Nedd (4-28) and Ezekiel Wilson (4-37) starring with the ball. Imlach also scored 83 in that match.

Police chased the target in 16.3 overs led by Pernell London’s unbeaten 49.
