Guyana severely dented any hopes of Jamaica retaining the Regional Under-17 title with a crushing 87 run victory at Shaw Park yesterday in the fourth round of the Regional under-17 limited overs cricket competition in Tobago.
In a low-scoring affair, no Guyanese batsman got past Keanu Harry’s 35 while no Jamaican got past 20. Jamaica won the toss and inserted the Guyanese. The opening partnership put on 35 runs. This was followed by a 45 run partnership for the second wicket. Guyana looked solid up until losing their second wicket with the score on 89.
In a matter of five overs, they were reeling at 108/5. They lost two further wickets with the scores on 124 and 130. However, Brandon Prasad (29) and Harry (35) finished off the innings on a high to lift Guyana to 189/7 from their 50 overs.
At the top of the order, Parmesh Parsotam (23), Ronaldo Renee (26) and Shim Hetmyer (27) all had starts but failed to convert them into anything significant. Spinner, Abhijai Mansingh grabbed 3-22 to be Jamaica’s best bowler.
But 189 still looked an underpar score for the Jamaicans to chase. However, from a position of relative comfort at 42/1, the Jamaicans slipped to 59/5. There was a 29 run partnership between Mansingh (16) and Rajon Nichlason (5) but when Mansingh went with the score on 88/7, another slide occurred that would see the Jamaicans slip to 102 all out, and an 87 run defeat.
Mansingh and Ahmad were joint top-scorers with 16. Keemo Paul and Parmesh Parsotam both took three wickets for Guyana, the latter being named Man of the Match. In other games, Trinidad and Tobago defeated Barbados by two wickets and the Windwards beat the Leewards by 61 runs. Barbados and T&T are joint leaders going into the final round today.
