Jamaica sweep aside weak Hurricanes
 
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – Jamaica outplayed Leeward Islands Hurricanes to register a convincing nine wicket win in the fourth game of the NAGICO Super50 at Queen’s Park Oval here Friday.

Jamaica wiped out an easy target losing one wicket in the process after their bowlers demolished a batting line up which offered little fight.

Opener John Campbell counted two fours to score 26 before he was caught.

But Nkrumah Bonner led with a half century as the Jamaicans trotted to 119 for one after Dave Bernard Jr, Damion Jacobs and Nikita Miller ran through the batting order in 40.1 overs.

The Hurricanes won the toss and decided to bat only to stumble through an innings, crippled by Bernard who snared three for 10, Jacobs 3-24 and Miller 2-13.

Rampaul helps T&T to rain-shortened win
 

SCARBOROUGH, Tobago, CMC - Trinidad and Tobago Red Force cruised to comfortable five wicket win over West Indies Under 19s in their rain affected third match of the NAGICO Super50 at Shaw park Tobago on Friday.

Powered by a solid half century partnership for the first wicket between Evin Lewis and Nicholas Sookdeosingh, Red Force coasted to 101 for five after restricting the young West Indians to 97 for 7 in a match reduced to 21 overs because of a wet outfield caused by persistent rain.

Lewis and Sookdeosingh put together an opening stand of 58 as Red Force, considered among the favourites for title honours in the tournament, and asserted themselves.

Lewis smashed three sixes and a four in a top score of 38 while Sookdeosingh hit four fours and a six while contributing 35.
