MICOUD, St Lucia, CMC – Trinidad and Tobago lifted the TCL Group West Indies Under-19 One-Day Trophy yesterday, when they whipped Guyana by five wickets in a game reduced to a Twenty20 affair.

Heavy overnight and early morning rain, resulting in a wet outfield at the Beauchamp Playing Field, delayed the start of play until 2:30 pm and forced umpires to trim the overs to 20 per side.

Winning the toss and batting first, Guyana racked up a paltry 78 all out off 19.1 overs before T&T sprinted to 82 for five with four and a half overs remaining to seal the championship.

They were led by captain Yannick Ottley who scored an unbeaten 34 with three fours while opener Nicholas Alexis got 15.

Fast bowler Kieron Joseph finished with three for 17 while wily leg-spinner Amir Khan got two for eight.

Earlier, Guyana were led by Sherwin McPherson who top-scored with 33 which included three fours while opener Brian Sattaur chipped in with 18.

Leg-spinner Yannick Cariah destroyed the Guyana innings with four for nine while pacers Derone Davis (2-19) and Teshawn Castro (2-21) finished with two wickets apiece.

T&T ended the tournament on 14 points with defending champions Jamaica second on 10 points and Barbados third on nine.

Windward Islands finished on seven points with Leeward Islands on six and Guyana at the bottom of the tables on two points.

The one-day series was wrecked by rain with the first round being completely washed out. T&T benefited in the second round, beating Barbados by five wickets in the only game possible after rain ruined the two other matches scheduled.
