The West Indian Under-19 team posted a decent target in a match of the Dubai Under-19s One-Day Series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 U-19, at the International Cricket Council (ICC) Global Cricket Academy in Dubai. The Caribbean team reached 267 runs for the loss of
nine wickets in their allotted 50 overs.
Australian U-19 team’s captain Sebastian Gotch won the toss and elected to field first. The conditions were good for batting, as there was no threatening pace and bounce in the pitch. However, the Aussie team expected conditions to ease out in the second
half of the match.
The Windies U-19 team got off of to a good start to their innings. Their captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/John-Campbell-c67489, put together 51 runs for the first wicket before the skipper was sent back to the pavilion. He scored 31 runs off just 29 balls
with the help of five fours.
Campbell was also unable to carry onto the start, which he got to his innings. The 17-year-old left-hand batsman was dismissed after managing 33 runs from 30 balls, hitting five fours and a massive six in his innings.
First-drop, Keiron Joseph, and middle-order batsman, Anthony Alleyne, played steadily in the middle half of the innings. However, they failed to capitalise on the start they got. Both batsmen were dismissed in a span of five runs, after scoring 20 and 25
runs respectively.
The Caribbean Kings were struggling at 114 for the loss of four wickets when middle-order batsmen, Kavem Hodge and Kyle Mayers, paired at the crease. They scored 49 runs for the fifth wicket, before Mayers was sent back to the pavilion. The aggressive left-hander
got out after adding 30 runs to the total with the help of four fours in his innings.
Hodge was the only batsman, who managed to take his score past 50. He got out in the death overs after collecting 52 runs from 71 balls. Lower-order batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Derone-Davis-c53792, smashed 32 runs off just 13 balls, guiding his team’s total above 250. He powered
four fours and two towering sixes in the innings.
Medium-pacer, Jeremy Allison, was the pick of the bowlers for the Kangaroos U-19, as he took four wickets in the match. Meyrick http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Buchanan-c48808 also bowled well, dismissing two batsmen.
