Despite torrential rainfall until 11am, once the sun came out, bowlers relished the conditions in the second Guyana Cricket Board Under-19 franchise match at Providence, yesterday.

Rain did not let up as dark clouds hovered over the venue that has often been considered as the fastest drying venue in the West Indies and it lived up to its name with play possible at 13.00 hours, a mere two hours after the massive showers.

When the groundstaff removed the covers, the officials decided that the contest will see 13 players per side featuring in a 27-over affair.
