Jonathan Foo led Anacondas to a 21-run win

LED by a blistering 59 from former national player Jonathan Foo, Essequibo Anacondas beat Demerara Pit Bulls by 21 runs at Malteenoes yesterday in sunny conditions to register their second consecutive win in the eight-team Guyana T10 Bash.

Playing their second game in the tournament after the first round was washed out, Berbician Foo smashed seven sixes and a four in a pugnacious innings which lasted just 26 balls.
Foo got support from National First-Class Opener Raymond Perez who made 15 as the Anacondas reached 93-4 when their 10 overs expired.

In reply, the Pit Bulls were kept on a tight leash and bowled out for 72 despite 21 from former West Indies and IPL T20 all-rounder Chris Barnwell.
Junior Sinclair, Jerimiah Scott and Leon Swammy got 11 each in a losing effort.
Pacer Quintin Torrington had 3-15 while Kwesi Mickle followed up his Man-of-the-Match performance at Enmore on Wednesday with 2-2.

In the second game of the day, Berbice Piranhas defeated Demerara Hacks by 17 runs.
An unbeaten 38 from 12 balls and decorated with one four and five sixes from Quinten Sampson and an undefeated 29 with two fours and six from Brandon Jaikarran who recently scored 400 runs in a GCA second Division game at DCC, powered the Piranhas to 122-2.
Jaikarran and Sampson featured in an unfinished 52-run partnership on the fast outfield.

Quinten Sampson and an undefeated 29

Fast bowler Isai Thorne, the quickest bowler in the recently concluded West Indies four-day Championships which was won by Guyana, had one wicket.
Left-arm ‘Chinaman/Google bowler’ Totaram Bishun picked up the other wicket to fall.
The Hawkes could only reach 95-6 when their 10 overs expired.

Akshaya Persaud made 32 with three fours and two sixes while David Williams scored 29 with five boundaries which included two sixes.
They were both removed by left-arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul who had 2-16.

Ravindra Ivan took 2-7.
The action now shifts to Meten-Meer-Zorg from today.
