Tallawahs vs Hawksbills

A fired-up Jamaica Tallawahs continued their winning start to the defence of their Caribbean Premier League crown, when they crushed Antigua Hawksbills by eight wickets yesterday.

Asked to bowl first, the Chris Gayle-led Tallawahs bundled out the hosts for a paltry 96 off 18.3 overs, and then cantered to their target off 14.3 overs at the Vivian Richards Cricket Ground.

Red Steel vs Amazon Warriors

INSPIRED by the bowling of the mysterious Sunil Narine, host Guyana Amazon Warriors defeated Red Steel by 11 runs in a Super Over contest, when the two sides met in the fifth match of this year’s Limacol Caribbean Premier League at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence last night.After seeing fast bowler Ronsford Beaton claim 2 for 15 backed by Narine’s 2 for 23, which rocked the Red Steel and reduced them to 118 for 8 off their 20 overs, the home team on the back of Man-of-the-Match Christopher Barnwell’s aggressive 37 and 32 from Lendl Simmons, finished on 118 for 9 off their 20 overs.
