UWI face Oxford MCC for Universities final spot
HOST team UWI maintained their hopes of making the UWI World Universities T20 Cricket final courtesy of a nervy two wicket-win over the Tertiary Sport Association of TT (TSATT), on Thursday night, at the Sir Frank Worrell Cricket Ground, St Augustine. Winning this eliminator now puts them into a semi-final clash with Oxford MCC, today at 2 pm, at the same venue, to determine who will face Combined Campuses and Colleges (CCC) for the title tomorrow.
Sent in to bat first, TSATT could only manage 128 all out in their 20 overs. UWI got to their target with two balls to spare and the hosts will now be hoping they can beat Oxford MCC, who stunned them in the group stage with a comfortable eight-wicket win. From the onset, UWI’s bowling attack looked very effective with Shaquille Brown getting Mikel Frederick out LBW for duck and luring James Duncan to slash into Sachin Seecharan’s hands for six. Rachad Forde then removed skipper Mark Deyal for five to leave TSATT tottering at 31 for three.
