Tiger roars to send Jaguars into final

Fri, Jan 23, '15

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – Veteran West Indies left-hander Shiv Chanderpaul narrowly missed out on a hundred as he anchored Guyana Jaguars into the final of the NAGICO Super50 here late Friday night.

The 40-year-old stroked an invaluable unbeaten 98 as Jaguars, chasing 189 for victory, reached their target in the penultimate over, to seal a six-wicket victory over Jamaica Franchise in the first semi-final.

In a spot of bother at 90 for four in the 32nd over, Jaguars were rescued by a 99-run, unbroken fifth wicket stand between Chanderpaul and Royston Crandon, who finished on 45 not out.

Chanderpaul faced 142 balls in a well-paced innings and counted six fours while Crandon was more adventurous, striking three fours and a six off 51 deliveries.
