… Guyana ‘s Reyaz Latif stars with both bat and ball including a hat-trick

ST JOHN’S, Antigua, (CMC) – Barbados captain Justin Parris delivered a superb spell of bowling to lead Barbados to a 42-run win over Trinidad and Tobago and extend their unbeaten streak in the Rising Stars Under-15 competition here on Saturday.
After their batters failed to shine at the Coolidge Cricket Ground in their total of 158 in 44 overs, Parris grabbed four wickets with his medium pace as T&T were dismissed for 116 in 36.3 overs.
T&T seemed to be in control of the contest when they were cruising at 44 for one at one stage, with Jordan Julien and skipper Kaiden Pollard at the crease.
However, their innings began to unravel after medium pacer Jahidi Hinds bowled Pollard for 22.

Parris then bowled Zion Phillip for three, had Davis Guerra caught behind for a duck and Julien stumped for the top score of 30 to leave T&T 67 for five.
Medium pacers Asher Branford and Joshua Thompson then grabbed two wickets apiece to contribute to T&T’s demise and see them collapse to 90 for eight.
Parris finished with the superb figures of 4-16 from his 10 overs, while Branford took 2-6 and Thompson 2-25.

Earlier, while T&T did well to limit Barbados to 158, they would have been disappointed not to have kept them to a lower total after having them 110 for eight.
However, Joshua Thompson scored an unbeaten 22 batting at number nine and Zarell Harding made 18 at number eight to help boost the total.

Jayden Sadaphal (3-36,) Sanjiv Bachu (2-25), Samuel Stewart (2-26) and Ethan Ramcharan (2-34) were the main destroyers for T&T.
At the Antigua Recreation Ground: Reyaz Latif starred with both bat and ball, including taking a hat-trick, as Guyana romped to a comfortable 133-run win over the Windward Islands.
Opener Lomar Seecharan cracked an unbeaten 93, Richard Ramdehol made 59 and Latif finished on 48 not out, as Guyana piled up 288 for seven from their 50 overs.

Seecharan, who faced 129 balls and struck 11 boundaries and Latif, who hit four boundaries off 54 deliveries shared an unbroken partnership of 115 runs to rescue Guyana after they had slipped to 173 for seven in the 35th over.
Jeanille Williams was the pick of the bowlers for the Windward Islands with 3-31, while Jershaun Joseph took 2-74.
Latif then returned to snare six wickets, as the Windward Islands could muster only 155 from 39.4 overs.

From a comfortable position of 120 for three, Latif accounted for the wickets of Jorden Charles (39) and Jershaun Joseph and Jeanille Williams for ducks with consecutive deliveries to reduce them to 120 for six and effectively end the contest. Latif ended with 6-34 from his 10 overs.
At the Liberta Sports Club: Jamaica ensured that the Leeward Islands remained winless in the tournament by handing them a 35-run defeat.
Led by Tesfah Ward’s 88, Jamaica posted a competitive total of 240 for six from their 50 overs, with Andrew Lloyd (36), Zachary Buchanan, who made an unbeaten 30, Wayne Plummer (27) and Rajae McGeachy (25), all making useful contributions.
Medium pacers William Pitman and Ondre Peters took two wickets apiece for the Leeward Islands.

The Leeward Islands did well to recover after collapsing to 76 for five early on, but they were ultimately dismissed for 205 in the final over.
Jamaica’s medium pacer Eckoney Robinson did the early damage by capturing the first three wickets to reduce them to 22 for three.
The Leeward Islands owed their fightback to J’Quan Athanaze, who cracked a breezy 97 from 138 balls with nine fours and one six, before falling agonisingly short of a well-deserved century.
Robinson ended with figures of 4-53, while Andrew Lloyd took 3-30.
