Guyana scored 12 valuable runs in their super over, six of which came off the blade of Chris Barnwell.

Earlier in the match, opener Evin Lewis top-scored with a 51-ball 39 inclusive of a four and two sixes while the West Indies Under-19 wicket-keeper Pooran smashed an entertaining 17-ball 37, hammering three massive sixes and two fours.
