Guyana edge closer to retaining title

Guyana completed a comprehensive eight-wicket victory over Trinidad and Tobago on Saturday to move within sight of another regional under–19 double when the Cricket West Indies (CWI) Regional U-19 50-Over tournament continued in St Kitts and Nevis.

Raymond Perez

Chasing 111 for victory, Guyana cruised home to 111 for 2 in 21.5 overs, with the consistent Raymond Perez stroking an unbeaten 47 which included five fours and a maximum. He shared in a 78-run opening stand with West Indies U-19 player Joshua Persaud, who made 44 while lacing the same amount of boundaries and hitting two sixes.
The South Americans had earlier dismissed for 110 their counterparts from the Twin-Island Republic, with Bhaskar Yadram (3-19), Ashmed Nedd (2-23) and Richie Loonaught (2-27) sharing the spoils.
Only Kirstin Kallicharan, who made 48, mustered an innings of substance against a tightly-knit bowling attack.
Guyana will play their last match on Monday against Windward Islands.
