St. Vincent and the Grenadines – Rain played a decisive role in the CWI Rising Stars Under-19 Boys 2-Day Championships on Friday, resulting in the cancellation of two of the three scheduled matches.

The Leeward Islands vs. Guyana match at the Park Hill Sports Ground and the Barbados vs. Trinidad and Tobago match at the Mount Sion Sports Ground were both interrupted due to weather conditions, resulting in both matches ending in draws.

The only cricket match on the second day was between the Windward Islands and Defending champion Jamaica in Arnosville. Despite the players’ efforts, rain was a constant threat, affecting the pace of play.

In the match between Guyana and the Leeward Islands, Guyana was leading by 27 points on Day 2. However, due to continued rain, the match could not be played. The scores at the end of Day 1 were as follows:
