The wounded Guyana Under-17 team have had a poor showing at the first three matches of their West Indies Rising Stars U-17 tournament, being played in Trinidad and Tobago.
Guyana Under-17s are aiming for a maiden win this season
Guyana’s most recent loss came against Windward Islands on July 9th, when they suffered an 84-run defeat.
Windward Islands scored 156-6 in their allotted 25 overs, reduced because of rain in the twin islands of Trinidad and Tobago.
Akeem Augeste scored 38 for the Islanders, supported by Diovanne Joseph, who chipped in with 31. The right-arm off-spinner Marvan Prashad, who hails from Blairmont, West Bank Berbice, had 4-20 for Guyana.
In reply, the under-par Guyana team lacked intent in their run-chase, and managed only 65-7 in their 25 overs. Chetram Balgobin was a standout in scoring 27 not out in another poor batting display from Guyana. Tyran Theodore grabbed 4-13 for the Islanders in their 84-run win.
Guyana remain winless, but have two rounds of matches remaining in this edition of the Under-17 tournament. Guyana will meet Jamaica at Gilbert Park today, July 11, followed by their final round clash on Saturday, July 13, against Leeward Islands at Balmain Couva. All of these matches will commence at 9:30h local time.
