ZEEBURG Sports Club have booked a place in the semi-finals of the West Demerara Cricket Association (WDCA) T20 competition, owing to a 74-run victory over rivals, McGill Sports Club, on Saturday at the Zeeburg ground.

Zeeburg won the toss and opted to take first strike, but were struggling at 63-6 in the 13th over, before lower order batsman, Cornelius Jaisingh, played a few strokes to push the score to 134-9 before the 20 overs expired.

Jaisingh finished with 34 runs, while Mark Jeffers supported with 23 and Yutesh Dhanpaul 20.
Left-arm seamer Daniel Basdeo and medium fast bowler Sudesh Persaud led McGill.
Basdeo finished with 3-18 and Persaud with 3-26.

In reply, the combination of Jeffers, Dhanpaul and Malcolm Hubbard routed the visitors for 60 runs in 17.5 overs.
Medium-pacer Jeffers finished with 3-8, while spinners Dhanpaul (3-11) and Hubbard (2-6) were also on target. The trio had led their team to a 152-run victory in the Rising Stars T20 final over the host team in late January at the same venue.

Middle-order batsman Azar Deen scored over half of McGill’s runs after he took on the bowling toward the end in a losing cause.
Deen, who smacked five fours and a six, finished with 32 runs.
