Yesterday, Guyana, the defending champions, resuming on

Sinclair’s 51 came from 68 balls and included five fours and a six.

Earlier, Singh shared in a 51-run, third-wicket partnership with Yadram whose 35 included five fours and one six.

Following Yadram’s dismissal to Jemuel Cabey, Singh cut loose as he and Kevlon Anderson added 48 runs for the fifth wicket.

Singh missed out on a half century falling for 49 from 97 balls with two sixes and three fours before he was bowled by Zawandi White.

Anderson added 17 while Javid Karim’s cameo of 30 was enough to see Guyana with a
