ST. JOHN’S, Antigua – A landmark hundred from Devon Smith failed to prevent Trinidad & Tobago Red Force from galloping to a 10-wicket victory inside three days over Windward Islands Volcanoes in the Digicel 4-Day Championship on Saturday.
Smith achieved the rare feat of carrying his bat for the third time in the modern history of the Windies first-class championship (1966 onwards) to log his second hundred of the season.
Penetrative bowling however, from left-arm fast-medium bowler Daniel St. Clair and leg-spinner Imran Khan undermined the rest of the Volcanoes’ batting in the second innings, leaving Red Force with a negligible target to chase in their third-round contest at Queen’s Park Oval.
Meantime, table leaders and three-time reigning champions Guyana Jaguars were engaged in a bitter fight for survival against Leeward Islands Hurricanes at Warner Park, and Barbados Pride made hay while the rain stayed away in their day/night clash with Jamaica Scorpions at Sabina Park.
