Seales, Julien guide TT to narrow win

FAST bowler Jayden Seales and captain Leonardo Julien guided TT to an exciting one-run win over Jamaica in round two of the Rising Stars West Indies Under-19 Championship in St Vincent and the Grenadines, yesterday.

Rain threatened to spoil the match, but a 23-over contest was possible. Batting first, Julien cracked 56 to guide TT to 135/7 off 23 overs and Christopher Green was the top bowler for Jamaica snatching 2/14.

In reply, Seales was in brilliant form taking 4/30 as the Jamaicans fell agonisingly short getting to 134/9 in 23 overs. Kirk McKenzie was the best batsman for Jamaica with 41 and the pair of Zavier Burton and Daniel Beckford both scored 36.
