The Jamaica Scorpions completed a dominant ten-wicket win over the Combined Campuses and Colleges in their 2024 West Indies Championship second round fixture at Sabina Park on Friday.

After starting Friday’s day three 259-6 off 73.1 overs, the Scorpions ended up being bowled out for 331 in 91.2 overs, a lead of 24 runs.

Peat Salmon was instrumental in helping the Scorpions establish a lead with a 44-ball 45 including four fours and two sixes.

17-year-old Zishan Motara, who entered the day with four wickets to his name so far in the innings, added three on day three to finish with career-best figures of 7-108 off 31.2 overs.

Facing a deficit of 24, the CCC had a horrendous showing with the bat in their second innings, being dismissed for just 87 in 30.4 overs.

Congratulations Jamaica, when you play poorly we cuss you but we have to big up such a dominant performance. Do not let it get to your head as you have to be ready to perform for the next match.

Jamaica needed badly this win, the first match they have won in two years, if they did not win against the CCC many questions should have been asked about Jamaican cricket.

Questions are still been asked about Jamaica’s commitment to cricket as a regional sport.
