Come on Beckles
The Trinidad and Tobago U-13 cricket team concluded its tour with a 3-1 series win over Guyana in a 40-over goodwill series.
Earlier this year, the TT Cricket Board and the Guyana Cricket Board made arrangements for the TT team to travel to Guyana for the series to test their skills against each other.
On Saturday, going into the final game leading the series 2-1, TT pulled off a narrow ten-run victory to seal the series at the Providence Stadium in East Coast Demerara, Guyana.
TT were bowled out for a modest 78 in 26 overs in a rain-reduced 30-over match. Playing for TT, Mikael Ali and Zakarriya Mohammed scored 14 and 12 respectively.
Guyana captain Brandon Henry was the main destroyer grabbing 4/9 in six overs with his spin.
Spinner Khush Seegobin took 2/9 in four overs and fast bowler Raffel McKenzie took 2/25 in five overs.
In reply, Guyana were all out for 68 in 26.3 overs. Bowling for TT, spinner Shaan Ramtahal grabbed 2/6 in six overs, Ra’Ed Ali Khan took 2/11 and Tyler Ramroop 2/21.
Seegobin tried to keep Guyana in the contest with 15 and Rayaz Latiff contributed 14.
