After a break on Friday the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) Regional 50-over under-17 cricket tournament resumed yesterday with third round matches in Tobago and Guyana, led by enterprising half-centuries from Ronaldo Ali Mohamed and Bhaskar Yadram and a fine bowling performance by left arm spinner Ashmead Nedd, beat Barbados by 66 runs at Shaw Park to notch up their first win.
GUYANA made 219-8 off 50 overs with Mohamed top scoring with 70 and Yadram finishing unbeaten on an accomplished 69. Raymond Perez (28) and Adrian Sukhwa (20) chipped in with the bat as Guyana posted the fourth 200 plus total in the six team tournament.
The Windward Islands’ 237 for eight off 50 overs against Guyana in the second round is the highest total, while Guyana’s crushing 106-run defeat against the Islanders is the biggest margin of victory so far.
Donte Niles (2-20) and Najee Holder (2-45) bowled well for Barbados who were bowled out for 135 off 36.3 overs as Shian Brathwaite made 38, Najee Holder scored 32 and Donte Niles hit 21.
Nedd befuddled the Bajans with 4-23 and got support from Kevin Sinclair (2-19) and Sagar Hatheramani (2-27) as the South Americans moved out of the Cellar position which is now occupied by the Leeward Islands who are yet to get off the mark after three matches.
