West Indies Under-19 head coach Floyd Reifer has praised the teenage squad for the character they displayed in their second match of the ICC Under-19 World Cup, following an opening defeat, and said he wanted to see them improve even more when they face Sri Lanka on Friday.
He said the team played a good day of cricket in St Kitts on Monday, beating Scotland by seven wickets in their second game of the tournament at Warner Park.
West Indies lost their opening match to Australia in Guyana last Friday, and the hosts hit back strongly, bundling out the Scots for a mere 95 in the 36th over.
Making specific reference to left-arm fast-medium seamer Shiva Sankar who claimed 3-17 from his seven overs, accounting for the first three of Scotland’s wickets to fall, Reifer said he bowled “with good control and good discipline”, backed by McKenny Clarke. He also singled out Onaje Amory.
Reifer said going into their next game, the young West Indies team had to replicate the approach they took in the first match.
The home side will face Sri Lanka Under-19s in their final Group D match on Friday, with the top two teams progressing to the next round.
