Dwaine Pretorius was named as the Player of the Match. Speaking at the post-match presentation, Pretorius said, “I love playing for Guyana. I think that was again a really good team performance, just like the Jamaican game. I think everyone did their role really, really well.”

“Great opening partnership there from our youngster (Mavendra Dindyal), who is only playing his second game, and then obviously Glenn (Phillips) brought a lot of experience. I think that was a great performance from the boys,” concluded Pretorius.
