At the end of day three of the West Indies Cricket Board Four-Day Cricket Franchise’s ninth round encounter between the Guyana Jaguars and T&T’s Red Force at Providence, the contest was heading for a draw going into today’s final day.
Behind by 44 after T&T made 340 in response to their first innings 291, the Jaguars reached 120-3 by the close with a lead of 71 and seven wickets in hand. Narsingh Deonarine (6) and Night watchman Devendra Bishoo (4) were the unbeaten batsmen.
The 29-year-old Bishoo began the game with 44 wickets and grabbed 6-79 to become the third Guyanese bowler to reach 50 wickets in a season, while Veerasammy Permaul’s 2-92 extended his lead among the wicket-takers to 58 scalps. Mahendra Nagamootoo is the other Guyanese to claim 50 wickets.
The second half-century partnership of the match between Assad Fudadin (50) and Rajendra Chandrika (31) pushed the Jaguars to 60 before Chandrika, with five fifties in the tournament, again wasted a good start.
Chandrika provided Imran Khan (who broke the T&T record for most wickets in a season in the Jaguars’ first innings) with his 50th wicket of the tournament. Chandrika hit five boundaries.
Leon Johnson (28) missed a sweep at 108-2 off Jason Mohamed, who bowled Fudadin three runs later. His 20th First-Class fifty took 120 balls, 169 minutes and included seven fours.
Bishoo got going with a boundary off Mohamed and along with Deonarine saw their team safely to the close as Mohamed had 2-9.
Earlier, the Red force resumed on 173-4 and lost Yannick Cariah (71) without addition to the score but Yannick Ottley, who hammered 11 fours in 71 from 196 minutes and 171 balls and Stephen Katwaroo, who finished unbeaten on 70 from 190 minutes, 171 balls with seven fours and a six, added 137 as T&T went to Lunch on 307-5.
They took the score to 310-6 before Ottley fell to Permaul to trigger a collapse. Bishoo picked up the last four wickets as T&T lost five batsmen for 30 runs, despite a 24-run last wicket partnership between Katwaroo and Shannon Gabriel (16), who clobbered two fours and a six off Bishoo, who eventually dismissed him.
