Jamaica win again
PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC):

Jamaica continued their ardent defence of their West Indies Under-15 title with their second win in as many days yesterday.

In a rain-affected match at the National Cricket Centre, Jamaica beat Guyana by two wickets after their target was adjusted.

They were joined in winners' row by hosts Trinidad and Tobago, who beat Windward Islands by 34 runs at Inshan Ali Park. But the other game between Barbados and Leeward Islands was abandoned after rain intervened.

Batting first, Guyana were dismissed for 143 off 44 overs with Veeropen Parmaul top scoring with 24 and Sunil Rupee getting 23. John Campbell (2-22), Ashan Plumber (2-25) and Brian Gayle (2-31) all grabbed two wickets apiece.

Target adjusted

Jamaica had their target adjusted to 115 off 40 overs and reached their total for the loss of eight wickets off 33.4 overs, with Brandon King getting 24 and Shaquille Williams snatching four for 16.

At Inshan Ali Park: T&T 184-9 off 50 overs (Adrian Cooper 66, Jeremy Solozano 30, Stefan Warwood 28; Larry Edwards 3-28). Windward Islands 150 all out off 39.3 overs (Kadier Nedd 64, Keonne George 29; Nairon Mootilal 4-25, Sheehan Byrne 3-19).

At the Queen's Park Oval: Leeward Islands 175 all out off 49.4 overs (Thair Walsh 25; Matthew Clarke 4-27). Barbados 11-1 off 3.1 overs (Daren Hopson 1-7).
