Bridgetown, Barbados - Marc Cyrus' XI defeated Mekhail Marshall's XI by two wickets with as many as 12.4 overs to spare in the first Barbados Under-17 one-day trial match at Kensington Oval today.
Chasing 133 to win in 50 overs, Cyrus' side were under early pressure on nine for three in the fourth over, then recovered through a fourth wicket partnership of 67 in 13 overs between Darnell Evelyn and Shemwyn Harris.
But after Evelyn was run out for 27 off 41 balls including three fours, they slipped to 109 for eight in the 29th over before all-rounder Shemar Persaud and Ajani Batson took them to the target in 37.2 overs.
At that stage Batson was on 13 and Persaud, seven.
It was then decided that the innings be completed and they were bowled out for 188 off the very last ball of the 50th over.
Batson went on to topscore with 36 off 69 deliveries including four boundaries.
Harris contributed 32 from 71 balls, counting two fours.
Zion Hill, who caused the early problems, took two for ten off five overs, while Kevon Connell picked up two for 21 off seven overs.
There were a whopping 48 extras including 29 wides and 12 no-balls.
Marshall's XI were bowled out for 132 in 35.3 overs after winning the toss.
Opener Shaquon Glasgow topscored with 32 off 38 balls, striking six fours.
He added 53 in 10.3 overs for the second wicket with Kevon Connell, who made 28 off 62 deliveries including two boundaries.
Wicket-keeper Tauron Gibson contributed 21 off 48 balls and was part of a sensational collapse during which the last eight wickets tumbled for 40 runs in 13 overs.
Persaud grabbed three for eight and Amari Waithe, three for 19 - both off six overs. Terrll Blanche took two for 25 off 4.3 overs.
It will be the turn of the Under-15s to impress on Sunday, February 28 at the same venue, starting at 9:30 a.m.
