T&T snatch youth title as Guyana stumble
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC) — In an amazing finish to the West Indies Under-15 Championship yesterday, Trinidad and Tobago lifted the title after hammering the previously undefeated Guyana by 81 runs.
The result left T&T and Guyana on eight points, along with Jamaica who beat Leeward Islands by 78 runs at Gilbert Park.
With net run rate determining the winner, Trinidad and Tobago sneaked the title with a run-rate of +1.32, while dethroned champions Jamaica finished on +1.03 and Guyana, +0.68.
It was a disappointing result for Guyana who had earlier installed themselves as the favourites to capture the championship when they beat Barbados in the penultimate fourth round on Saturday.
Jamaica had also put themselves in with an outside chance of snatching the title when they crushed T&T by 81 runs at Wilson Road.
