Trini U-19s hit 162/0 vs ROA

GEORGETOWN: Trinidad and Tobago Under-19 cricketers continued their fine run in the TCL-sponsored West Indies Youth Challenge three-day competition, taking first innings points against the Rest of Americas at the LBI ground in East Coast Guyana yesterday.

Led by an unbroken first wicket partnership between captain Dinesh Ramdin (84) and Tishan Maraj (65), Trinidad and Tobago closed on 162 without loss in reply to ROA’s 135 all out. Ramdin has so far batted for 162 minutes and 153 balls and struck five fours and one six. Maraj has also been at the crease for 162 minutes and has faced 100 balls and hit three fours. Earlier, the ROA squandered a golden opportunity to pile up a huge total after winning the toss and deciding to bat. At the relatively good position of 100 for two at the lunch interval, ROA lost their remaining eight wickets for 35 runs. Left-arm spinner Kavesh Kantasingh (3/12) and promising pacer Ravi Rampaul (3/43) were mainly responsible for their demise.
