They managed to make http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tyson-Gordon-c94513 offered the flagging middle order some respite,
with an unbeaten 39, which saw his side to a total of 175 by the end of 20 overs, at the expense of 6 wickets.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bermuda-c2853’s Dion Stovell (2 for 15) and Trott (2 for 14), despite valiant efforts, were unable to restrict their opponents, and their batsmen were equally unsuccessful in besting the Canadians.
Opener Stovell was caught out by wicketkeeper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lionel-Olvin-Bernard-Cann-c72988 contributed 33 off 21 balls before he was run out in the 6th over, and from there
onwards, it was a downhill slide. Middle-order batsmen http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Terryn-Sunil-Fray-c93068, who came in at number 7 and contributed 16 runs.

each.
