Jaguars create history in record chase
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, CMC – Test batsman Narsingh Deonarine, veteran left-hander Shiv Chanderpaul and opener Rajindra Chandrika all stroked enterprising half-centuries to mastermind a successful run chase and fire leaders Guyana Jaguars to a comfortable four-wicket victory over Barbados Pride here Monday.
Starting the final day of the seventh round encounter at Kensington Oval on 41 without loss in pursuit of 333, Guyana swept to victory late in the day to stun the hosts and exact revenge for the embarrassing defeat suffered in Georgetown last December.
Barbados were ironically hurt by the Jaguars’ lone import, Barbadian all-rounder Raymon Reifer, who stroked a level-headed unbeaten 41 to see his side to victory.
