Trinidad and Tobago closed off day one of their West Indies Rising Stars Under-17 two-day Championship fixture against Guyana with a lead of 32 runs and four wickets in hand at the Queen’s Park Oval in St Clair, on August 16.
After bundling Guyana out for 109 from 40.3 overs after lunch, the TT team had a modest response and got to 141/6 at stumps, with one day to play.
After winning the toss and putting the visitors in to bat, TT had a strong start from their opening bowlers as they restricted Guyana to 57/6 in under 20 overs.
Middle-order batsman Adrian Hetmyer rescued the Guyana innings with his 45-run knock as only Richard Ramdehol (15) and Lomar Seecharan (14) were able to get within double figures.
Left-arm fast bowler Daniel Holder returned figures of 4/15 from 10.3 overs, while fellow bowlers Daron Dhanraj (2/8) and Renaldo Fournillier (2/31) were also impactful.
When TT batted, the opening pair of skipper Saleem Khan (35) and Christian Lall (14) started positively, before the latter was caught by Hetmyer off Parmeshwar Ram. Darius Battoosingh perished without scoring, but Roberto Badree (23) and Aadi Ramsaran (30) returned some stability to the innings.
Wicketkeeper Christiano Ramanan scored 18 as Ra’ed Ali Khan (four not out) and Fournillier (seven not out) are the overnight batsmen heading into day two.
Topping the bowling for Guyana were Dave Mohabir (2/25) and Ram (2/28).
