Kingston, Jamaica – Jamaica registered their second victory of the Regional Super50 with a measured 4 wicket win over the Combined Campuses and Colleges at Sabina Park on Thursday.
After routing the university lads for 157 in 48 overs the home side paced their chased, eventually getting to 158 for 6 from 45.2 overs.
Andre McCarthy led Jamaica’s batting with a stroke- filled 45 from 66 balls. He cracked four audacious boundaries and added a p air of sixes before falling to leave the score on 77 for 4 and Jamaica in a spot of bother.
Captain Tamar Lambert, the eventual Man-of-the-Match steered the ship with a responsible knock of 34 from 65 balls and consisting of two fours and a six.
When he fell to make the score 123 for 5, Jamaica were just 35 runs from victory and Dave Bernard Jr. (28) and wicketkeeper Carlto n Baugh (18*) saw them to 157 before Bernard fell with a run needed to victory.
At the top of their innings Jamaica suffered a scare when they lost Jermaine Blackwood and Nkrumah Bonner for ducks to leave them stuttering at 2 wickets for 1 run. Simon Jackson (21) and McCarthy repaired the early damage with a 56 run third wicket partnership before the middle order ensured victory.
Nikita Miller was his usual miserly self, capturing 3 wickets for 27 from 10 overs to hold the CCC to a modest total as they struggled to find runs, particularly against the Jamaican spin trio. Leg spinner Odean Brown (2 for 27), Lambert (2 for 39) and pacer Andrew Richardson (2 for 22) were also among the wickets.
Veteran Floyd Reifer made 32 from 61 balls with a lone six and captain Kyle Corbin aided his side’s cause with 24 (56b, 1×4).
The pair added 55 for the third wicket after CCC lost openers Shacoya Thoma s (6) and Chadwick Walton (6) cheaply. Nicholas Alexis made a brisk 20 (35b 1×4, 1×6) but their combined effort was not good enough to deny the favoured Jamaicans.
At Arnos Vale, Trinidad and Tobago overcame Windward Islands by 14 runs. Trinidad and Tobago won the toss, batted and managed 216-5 from their allotted 50 overs.
Jason Mohamed top scored with an unbeaten 63 while Nicholas Pooran chipped in with 33 not out. Shane Shillingford 2-16 from 10 overs and Liam Sebastien 2-34 from 10 were the pick of the bowlers.
