Regional U-19: Ramsammy shows fight with half-century, but Guyana lose to Barbados

Berbice and Guyana youth batsman Zeynul Ramsammy displayed grit and determination in his 71 from 116 balls against Barbados in round one of the Cricket West Indies (CWI) Regional U-19 three-day tournament.

Playing in St Vincent, Barbados defeated Guyana U-19 by 80 runs on the third and final day. Barbados posted 302-9 declared in their first innings, while Guyana U-19 made 183 all out in 57.4 overs. A second time around, Barbados scored a brisk 154-4 declared in 21.5 overs, and Guyana, chasing 271, were bowled out for 191 in 54.4 overs.
Ramsammy, batting at number six, scored 76 from 116 balls, an innings laced with nine fours and one six. The next best score for Guyana was 19, with fast bowler Isai Thorne scoring 19 from nine balls in yet another poor Guyana batting effort.
Guyana will play Windward Islands on Thursday, July 20 in the second round.
