T&T, Guyana in final fight for U15 title
The fight for the Cricket West Indies Regional Under-15 Championship title will go down to the final day after T&T beat the Windward Islands by six runs yesterday in the penultimate round at the Vivian Richards Cricket Stadium in Antigua.
The victory for T&T was worth 6.2 points, which takes the local boys to a total of 25.1 points at the top of the six-team table. Guyana, on the other hand, gained 6.4 points from its victory against the Leeward Islands. They have now replaced the Windwards in second place on 18.9 points. The final round of matches will decide the winner as T&T faces Guyana.
After cruising for much of the tournament, the local lads met a tough opponent in the Windwards. They were inserted to bat after losing the toss. T&T got off to a perfect start with the opening pair of Romario King and Kavir Boodoosingh putting on 101 runs in 26 overs. The latter scored 59 runs in what was a patient knock that lasted over two and a half hours and included six boundaries. King, on the other hand, was run out for 37 just as he got going.
