U-15s on the verge of regional crown

All-rounder Sachin Seecha­ran had a good per­for­mance yes­ter­day for the na­tion­al un­der-15 team, but the Ja­maicans fought back to leave the match hang­ing in the bal­ance in their fi­nal round clash of the West In­dies Crick­et Board Re­gion­al u-15 tour­na­ment in Ja­maica.

Bowl­ing first at the Man­ches­ter High School Ground, Seecha­ran took 3/8 with his mei­dum pace as Ja­maica were bowled out for 75 in their first in­nings. Seecha­ran was sup­port­ed by skip­per Kirstan Kallicha­ran and fast bowler Joel Suther­land, who grabbed 3/12 and 2/7 re­spec­tive­ly. Ian Spence showed some fight for the hosts, scor­ing an un­beat­en 19.

In re­ply, the top or­der for T&T failed as they were re­duced to 43/4 with the dan­ger­ous Kallicha­ran and vice cap­tain Sai­ba Ba­toos­ingh al­ready back in the pavil­ion. Kallicha­ran, who scored 63 to win the match for T&T in the last round against Guyana, was dis­missed for one, while Ba­toos­ingh who scored 70 against the Lee­ward Is­lands, could on­ly muster sev­en. When T&T were fur­ther re­duced to 68/7, it looked like T&T would con­cede first in­nings points. How­ev­er, Seecha­ran made a valiant 28 as T&T limped to 107/9 off 38 overs, with a lead of 32 runs.

In their sec­ond turn at the crease, Ja­maica quick­ly erased the lead as they raced to 49/0 off 12 overs. Ra­jh­ni Roye was on 25, while Richard McIn­tosh was giv­ing good sup­port on 17. Kallicha­ran and Emi­lo Gopaul snatched one wick­et apiece to leave Ja­maica on 58/2, with a small lead of 26 runs. Un­for­tu­nate­ly for T&T, an un­bro­ken third wick­et part­ner­ship of 27 from Ja­maica meant they closed on 85/2 with a lead of 53 runs.
