Bahamas 91, Bermuda 92-2Bermuda Under-19s kept their World Cup hopes alive with an eight-wicket win over Bahamas yesterday.Having bowled their opponents out for a measly 91, Bermuda knocked off the runs in 14.3 overs with Kamau Leverock weighing in heavily at the top of the order.Leverock was well supported by William White and Lateef Trott in the run chase, while Trott, who took two wickets in three balls, and Joshua Gilbert, who took three wickets, were the pick of the bowlers.Bermuda might have wrapped up the game much sooner than they did, but a lack of experience and match practice let Bahamas off the hook on a couple of occasions.“The first win against Cayman we really should have been more dominant, but that was all about our disciplines and our plans,” said head coach David Moore.“And again, that was the same against Bahamas. But once we have those plans in place and the boys understand and experience playing with plans, then they will progress.”Still, the win means that tomorrow’s game against USA is ultimately likely to decide Bermuda’s fate, although victory might still not be enough.Both USA and Canada have recorded several crushing wins in the tournament so far, with the most recent yesterday, when USA beat Cayman Islands by ten wickets and Canada beat Argentina by nine wickets.With their opponents’ superior run rates, Bermuda will need to beat USA and hope that; USA lose to Canada on Saturday, or USA beat Canada, and a thumping win for Bermuda over Argentina sees them slip into second on run rate.Either way, Bermuda are in with a chance of making the qualifiers in Ireland, and head coach David Moore has nothing but optimism about what the future holds for his young side.“We’re still in it now, again, we don’t know how USA are going to play,” he said. “They’ve (USA) played very well on a number of occasions already, but again, we just need to get in there and if we can complete our plans satisfactorily you never know what will happen.”Whatever happens for the remainder of the tournament, the advantage that Bermuda have over the rest of the region is that their side, by and large, will still be together in two years time when the qualifiers come around again.“Canada and USA have got 19-year-olds, and we’ve got predominantly 16 and 17-year-olds,” said Moore. “The majority of our team will be able to play in the next qualifiers (in two years). I think the only people that we lose are Mackih McGowan, Damali Bell and Kevon Fubler, which gives us a core to work with for two more years.“William White’s come in, and he hasn’t played for six months, and he’s been really good. He’s been what we’ve been looking for at the top of the order, someone stable. We’ve got so many stroke makers, that we need someone to bat through the innings and William’s done a really good job for us.“What we’re going to do is go back now and prepare a two-year plan for the next group to come through, and see whether that helps us achieve our goal of making the Global Qualifiers in the future.“We’ll go back, meet with the development committee, and discuss a road map forward for the next two years and see where it takes us. We’ve got raw talent on the Island, there is no doubt about it, but it’s how we work with the players and how the clubs work with the players, to be able to get the best out of those individuals.”
