Jamaica secures Super50 title – Cricket News Update
After an almost two weeks of hard fought cricket, the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 Cricket Board (WICB) Regional Super50 tournament title, having defeated Trinidad & Tobago (T&T) in the competition’s final outing, at the
Providence Stadium, in Guyana on October 29. 2011.
The title quencher kicked off after T&T’s Captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Daren-Ganga-c52410, won the toss and opted to bat first – a decision the Skipper must have regretted throughout the fixture.
The side’s batting session kicked off with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andre-Dwayne-Russell-c44235.
Unfortunately for team T&T, the side crawled on to losing 4 early wickets till the 15th over of the innings, complements to Jamaica’s pacer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/NO-Miller-c2125, reduced the side to pile up a poor tally of 30, upon reaching the
mark.
However, a little hope finally arrived for T&T after http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sherwin-Ganga-c90004 took charge of the crease, and despite retaining a sluggish run rate, managed to stall the innings past 25 overs.
Ganga, followed by middle order batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Thomas-George-Burrows-c93472he troubled T&T roster, which saw more losses its way, after Jamaica’s much in form bowlers, finally brought the batting side out of its misery – reducing them to an accessible
total of 118 runs, after losing all wickets in 46.1 overs.
An easy task ahead of Jamaica – which despite losing two opening wickets, before crossing the 5 overs mark, booked a confident stance at the crease, especially with Skipper Gayle retaining his stumps, in partnership with two down batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Danza-Pacino-Hyatt-c52396.
Some concern came for Jamaica after the team lost their Skipper in the opening delivery of the 14th over, when the top order had already aided the side to gather 31 runs.
Another successive blow came on the team’s line-up after Hyatt too, made his departure to the pavilion, leaving the side’s middle order to take charge of the chase.
Coming up imposingly to the task, Jamaica’s http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shawn-Eli-Findlay-c89874 took no time to settle in after finally rescuing the team to cover up the remaining trail in 35.5 overs – snatching the tournament’s title from T&T’s grasp.
