Dominica beat SVG to retain championship

Fri, Aug 28, '15

KINGSTOWN, St.Vincent, CMC - Dominica took first innings points from St.Vincent and the Grenadines to retain the senior Windward Islands cricket title at the Arnos Vale Playing Field here on Wednesday.

St.Vincent and the Grenadines, replying to Dominica’s 232, were dismissed for 205 just before tea on the rain-affected second day in the final round of matches.

Sunil Ambris led the charge to overhaul Dominica’s total with a top score of 48 but Shane Shillingfored and Kevin James combined for a five wicket haul between that stifled the homeside’s run rate.

Resuming from an overnight 88 for three, SVG were never allowed to settle in the face of tight bowling spells from Shillingford and James.
