Trinidad and Tobago beat Jamaica by 78 runs yesterday for their second win in the WICB Regional Under-15 tournament currently taking place at Progress Park, Grenada.

Batting first, TT posted a modest 172 for six from their 50 overs.

Anthonio Gomez gave the TT innings some impetus in the lower order with a knock of 49 not out from 56 balls to help rescue TT who were wobbling at 83 for five.

Aiding in the recovery effort was Jayden Seales who stroked a sedate 34 from 61 balls. Tariq Mohammed (21) and Rivaldo Ramlogan (18) chipped in as well.

Matthew Comerie (2/24) was the main wicket-taker.

In reply, Jamaica were suffocated by the bowling of Seales (3/33), Sameer Ali (3/22) and Ramlogan (2/14).

Jamaica were never in the run chase at 32 for six in the 18th over. Captain Romaine Jacob tried to save face with a knock of 31 from 69 balls but it was insufficient.
