Bad weather ruins opening round for Guyana.
Kaieteur Sports – The opening round of the 50-Over leg of this year’s Rising Stars U17 Championships was marred by bad weather yesterday despite an iffy win by the Windward Islands, as teams look to reinforce ahead of today’s start to Round 2.
Guyana, having finished 5th in the recently concluded 2-Day leg of the tournament, will be looking to make amends during the 50-over leg of the competition which bowled off yesterday.
However, the Guyanese had their bout versus the home team Trinidadians, ruined by bad weather which resulted in the match being abandoned without a ball being bowled yesterday at the Inshan Ali Park Ground in the Twin Island Republic.
Over at the National Cricket Center Ground, the match between Barbados and the Leeward Islands also had a forced stoppage.
Leewards managed to post 138-6 in a game reduced to 32-overs-per-side, before the match ended 3.3 deliveries into the Bajans chase which abruptly ended on 19-0.
At the Queen’s Park Oval where conditions were best suited for action, Jamaica made 217-9 against the Windward Islands having much better conditions as they batted the entire 50 overs.
However, the match would be stopped in the 23 over with the Windwards seemingly well ahead of the required run-rate on 117-5, which allowed them to sneak past the Jamaicans by 5 wickets via Duckworth/Lewis.
Action continues today with Guyana playing Barbados, Windwards battling the Trinidadians, while Jamaica will tackle Leewards Island; with each match starting from 9:30h, respectively.
