Guyana suffered a second round loss to Jamaica in the Cricket West Indies’ Rising Stars Under-15, 50-over Championship on Thursday at the Antigua Recreation Ground.
Sent in to the bat on grassy pitch at the historic venue in St. John’s, Guyana wasted a relatively solid platform and ended with a score barely over 100.
