A brilliant half-century from Christian Lall led Trinidad and Tobago to the West Indies Rising Stars Under 15 Championship title, as they defeated the Leeward Islands by six wickets at the Coolidge Cricket Ground.

The Leewards batting first posted 162 all out in 48 overs, with a half-century for skipper Matthew Miller. He shared in a 63-run partnership with Jaheem Clarke as the pair showed resistance to the spin of Yasir Deen and Alejandro Kassiram. Deen and Kassiram finished with figures of 3/34 and 3/9 respectively.

Lall and Dimitri Ramjattan then posted a 77-run opening partnership before Ramjattan was caught for 19. Trinidad and Tobago lost three more wickets in pursuit of victory, but Yasir Deen nudged the ball for the winning single in the last ball of the 35th over. Kunal Tilokani finished with figures of 2/45.
