AT the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) ground, Leon Andrews produced a magnificent all-round performance to almost single handily power the GDF to an emphatic 114 runs victory against Transport Sports Club (TSC).

The right-handed Andrews captured 4-23 as TSC struggled to get the ball away to eventually be restricted to 109-6 off 20 overs.
Riyad Latif limped to 33 from 50 balls although he hit three fours and six while Alvin Mohabir tried to break the shackles with a 13-ball 18 with 3 sixes but faced 10 dot balls.
Rafeal Singh, who made an unbeaten 23 from 29 balls with three boundaries, and Dave Mohabir, who made 13 shared in an unbroken 40-run seventh wicket stand in the last 24 balls.
Earlier, Andrews, using heavy artillery, came out with all guns blazing and decimated the hapless TSC bowling attack to all parts of the ground and shared in a 143-run opening partnership with Shamal Angel as GDF scored 225-2 in 20 overs.

Andrews hit eight fours 12 sixes in his destructive 123 for just 64 balls while off-spinner Singh broke the century stand when removed Angel for 86 from 54 ball as he reached the boundary five times and cleared it on nine occasions.

Randy Lindore joined Andrews who played an array of brutal shots to reach the first ton of the tournament from 51 balls.
But with the score on 201, Lindore, on 27, was trapped LBW by Akeem Redman in the 19th over before Randy McPherson, not out on nought, watched as Andrews took 24 from the last over to set up the win. (Sean Devers)
