CWI Rising Stars Male U-19 tournament: Ramdoo, Jaggesar and company lead T&T to 6- wicket win over Guyana
Trinidad and Tobago completed a solid six-wicket win over Guyana thanks to a strong showing from their top order, as the Cricket West Indies (CWI) Rising Stars Under-19 tournament progressed in St Vincent.
It was a competitive game between the two sides who have been arch-rivals over the years. Guyana again had an upside-down batting performance with Thaddeus Lovell (33) leading the way. Shamar Yearwood (29); Rivaldo Phillips (20) and Rampertab Ramnauth (16) also gathered some runs, while Mavendra Dindyal (18) capped off the batting.
Trinidad and Tobago bowlers were slightly efficient as Andrew Rambarran starred with 4-27 while Joshua Davi, who was shipped in with Ronilister Pereira, chipped in with stingy figures of 3-8.
In reply, the twin-island republic’s Justin Jaggesar (31), Kyle Ramdoo (37) and Rajeev Ramnath (21) led the run chase, but the rain stalled action with T&T needing just 11 runs.
On the bowling side, Guyana’s Jeremy Sandia was consistent for yet another game, grabbing 2-35 from his 10 overs, but not much could come from Guyana’s star bowling line-up.
Guyana will play Windwards in their final match of the Super50 leg of the tournament on Wednesday, July 12 at Park Hill.
