Guyana dismissed for 51 to lose low scorer

CWI Regional Under-15

Guyana’s Under-15 team went down to Leeward Islands Under-15s by 36 runs in a low-scoring encounter on Wednesday at North Stars Ground in Crab Hill, Barbados as the entire first round of Cricket West Indies (CWI) Regional Under-15 Tournament was plagued with low scores.
Romel Retemiah (3-16) and Gaurav Ramesh (3-12) spearheaded Guyana’s bowling attack to dismiss their counterparts for 87 all out in 38.4 overs after they opted to take first strike.
The Guyanese took five catches and affected three run-outs in an excellent fielding display that was on par with their bowling, as only Jaivani Carty (24) reached 20 in the entire match.
Guyana’s reply suffered two early setbacks when they lost Shemar Yearwood for four and Ricardo Ramdehol without scoring. However, skipper Marvan Prashad (13) and Anthony Williams seem to have other plans, adding 27 runs in 4.2 overs. Unfortunately, Prashad fell on the stroke of lunch as the Leeward Islands opened a gateway to the middle and lower order.
Subsequent to the resumption, only Mark Ramanand of the other batsmen managed to get off the mark as seven of the Guyanese in total failed to score in their team’s total of 51 all out in 15 overs. Rasheed Henry and Kenny Sutton bagged four wickets apiece for Leewards.
In the other matches, Jamaica defeated Trinidad and Tobago by 43 runs, while Windward Islands lost to Barbados by four wickets.
Batting first, Jamaica scored 120 all out in 44.2 overs, while T&T were dismissed for 77 in 40.2 overs at Rubis Sports Club, Brighton, Barbados.
At Police, Weymouth, Barbados made 104-6 in 38.5 overs in response to Windward Islands’ 103 all out in 50 overs.
Action is scheduled to continue on Friday with Guyana set to take on T&T, Barbados will do battle with Leeward Islands and Jamaica will meet Windward Islands.
