Goodwill Under-13 series: Guyana blown away by Trinidad Under-13
Trinidad and Tobago dominated Guyana in the first match of the 40-over Goodwill Under-13 series played at the Guyana National Stadium, at Providence.
The youngsters from the twin-island republic, who looked a far more uniform team, defeated the Guyanese by nine wickets.
Batting first on a rain-hit day, Guyana posted 43 all out in 26.5 overs. Lamar Seecharan, Richard Ramdeholl, and Brandon Henry scored seven runs each as all batsmen failed to reach double figures.

Extras contributed 11 to Guyana’s total. Shaan Ramthal was the pick of the bowlers with 3-7 from 1.5 overs. In response, Trinidad and Tobago looked a formidable batting line-up with opener Zakariyya Mohammed top-scoring with a promising 23. He was caught at short mid-wicket when he lost his balance off the left-arm spin of Henry.
Trinidad and Tobago raced to the target in 10.3 overs, ending on 43-1, with Ramthal scoring an unbeaten 10 to support Mohammed. Guyana’s Captain, Henry had 1-6 in four overs.
The teams will return to Providence on Tuesday, December 13 for the second match. The remaining two fixtures will be played on Thursday, December 15 and Saturday, December 17 and will be live-streamed on the Guyana Cricket Board’s Facebook page.
