Match 1: Guyana draw first blood by 7 wickets
Guyana Under-13 captain Lomar Seecharran carved a breezy half-century yesterday to help Guyana topple Barbados by 7-wickets as the hosts gained a 1-0 win with four games left in what’s building to be a brilliant limited-overs youth series.
Following a slight delay due to rain at the Lusignan Ground, after losing the toss at the Barbados managed to do a decent job of posting 177-7 thanks to a string of scores from what looked like a high-level batting unit.
Openers, skipper Oliver King (13) and Jon-David Greene (16) added 39 before the Guyanese made inroads.
Ky-mani Inniss hit 4 fours and a 6 in his 27 before top-scorer Natarie Lavine then picked up the slack to help lead an aggressive fight back.
Lavine hit a handful of fours and one six in his 37, while the pair of ZDari Scantlebury (16*), who hit a six and a four along with Niako Patterson’s 19 off 14 (1×4) which helped the young Bajans finish the innings on a high note.
Seecharan then played a captain’s hand, leading with a classy but aggressive knock of 79 off 63 with 10 fours and 3 sixes which laid the foundation for Guyana’s final score of 178-3 in 26.5 overs.
The Guyanese youth skipper, prior to being dismissed, did the hard work in getting his team well ahead of the required run-rate, due to his fifty which came courtesy of some aggressive stroke-play.
Gajnabi (14) finished a solid game off with the bat, before Afraz Ali (25*) and Dowlin (31*), joined forces to help shave as many runs off the target as possible, with Guyana requiring under 50 runs, with a little less than half the overs remaining.
The pair kept their heads steady with Dowlin playing the aggressor with finishing the game with three sixes and a four, while a more tempered Ali just hit two fours during the half-century stand to see their team home.
Barbados bowlers had a mixed day with Scantlebury (1-15), Patterson (1-17) and Kjani Inniss (1-20) having good economical games despite little impact in slowing down the Guyanese.
The second match bowls off today with the Bajans looking to turn their luck around with action set to bowl off from 10:00h at the Lusignan Ground. (Clifton Ross)
