Ganga's 86 Leads Windies 'A' to Victory

Former Test opener Darren Ganga teamed up with Donovan Pagon to lead the West India 'A' team to an 82-run win against Ireland in a 50-over game at Rathmines, Dublin.

The Trinidadian right-hander top-scored with 86 as the 'A' team racked up 268 for six off 50 overs. He got support from former youth standouts Pagon (62) and Duane Bravo (35). Devon Smith (22) and Runako Motron (24) also spent some time in the middle.

In reply, the Irish team was skittled out for 186 from 49.1 overs, with a top-score of 88 from Peter Gillespie. Pacer Marlon Black was the pick of the bowlers with 3-23 while Suleiman Benn took 3-24.

The first tour match was ruined by rain, but not before the West Indies 'A' team again helped themselves to batting practice. Runako Morton's 116 led the way in a total of 220 from 46.2 overs.
