Jamaica beat the Windwards by 81 runs
Spin duo Devendra Bishoo and Veerasammy Permaul bowled Guyana to a 234-run victory over Leeward Islands in the Regional 4-Day Tournament yesterday.
Playing at Windsor Park in Dominica, Guyana resuming on 86-6 fought to 226 all out with Assad Fudadin scoring 52 to lead the fight. He got valuable support from Veerasammy Permaul who hit an enterprising 48 to see the Guyanese post a challenging 336 victory target for the Leewards to chase. Nelson Bolan took 4 wickets for the Leewards.
Leewards in their 2nd innings crumbled to102 all out with only Orlando Peters 21 making any real useful contribution. Again the spin duo of Devendra Bishoo with 4 wickets and Veerasammy Permaul also with 4 wickets mesmerized the Leewards batsmen to hand Guyana victory in three days.
The Guyanese, forced to play away from home due to the impasse between the Government and the Guyana Cricket Board, will be happy with their overall showing despite needing to fare better with the bat and will look to continue their winning ways.
