T&T U15s edge Jamaica in rain-hit Rising Stars opener

Trinidad & Tobago Under-15s held their nerve to pull off a tense two-wicket DLS (Duckworth-Lewis-Stern) victory over hosts Jamaica in the opening match of the Rising Stars bilateral series at the Melbourne Cricket Club yesterday. The contest, heavily affected by rain, was first reduced to 41 overs per side following overnight showers that left sections of the outfield damp. Further rain interruptions forced the umpires to shorten the game again to 34 overs, setting the stage for a low-scoring but thrilling encounter.
