Hemraj’s three wickets for just 16 runs in nine overs, was instrumental in limiting the visitors to 189 for eight wickets off 45 overs.

But the Guyana under-15 batsmen could not successfully chase that target and were dismissed for 127 in exactly 40 overs.

Batting first, James Claybrook and Freddy Gabbitass (19) put on 44 for the first wicket before Claybrook was caught and bowled from Hemraj on 24.
