Guyana U15s finish second at Rising Stars 50-over tournament

The tournament was won by Trinidad and Tobago, who played unbeaten.

In their final match, Guyana defeated last year’s winners Barbados by seven wickets at Liberta Sports Ground. Batting first, Barbados was all out for 69 in 20.5 overs. Oliver Gooding top-scored for the Bajans with 23.

Arun Gainda 3 for 10, skipper Dave Mohabir 3 for 13, and Jonathan Mentore 3 for 14 were the leading bowlers for Guyana.

Mentore then returned to score 17 runs and 14 from Romario Ramdeholl, but it was the 25 runs that came via extras that took Guyana home to a comfortable win at 70 for 3 in 23 overs.
