Changoor, Pitiram star for South U-15s

The match was the final chance for the Under-15 cricketers to impress the national selectors. Sachin Emrit led the way for North, scoring 59 off 109 deliveries to guide North to 205 for eight.

Emrit, who cracked four fours, was ably supported by Andrew Rambarran and Gerard Chin who scored 30 and 28 respectively.

Changoor was the chief destroyer for South, grabbing three for 30 in nine overs.

Justin Manick, Darren Samlal, Isiah Gomez, Tariq Mohammed and Pitiram all took one wicket. In reply, a 76- run unbroken fourth wicket partnership between Pitiram and captain Tariq Mohammed led South to 206/3 in 37 overs. Pitiram cracked 49 not out off 71 deliveries with three fours, while Mohammed scored an unbeaten 37 off 35 balls with three fours.

Earlier in the innings, wicketkeeper Aaron Bankay contributed 48 from 64 balls with five fours.

The wicket takers for South were Jabari Phillip (1/35), Chadeon Raymond (1/20) and Anderson Mahase (1/28). Changoor won the man of the match award.

The selectors may be concerned about the number of extras given away in the match, with North giving away 33 extras and South leaking 22 extras.
