Guyana, Jamaica wrap up victories

Jamaica 291 (McCarthy 121, Imran 7-90) and 156 for 4 (Campbell 83*, Kantasingh 3-51) beat Trinidad & Tobago 271 (Solozano 110, Bernard 3-25) and 175 (Campbell 7-73) by six wickets
Scorecard

Offspinner John Campbell finished with career-best match figures of 8 for 93 and scored a crucial 83 in the second innings, helping Jamaica beat Trinidad & Tobago by six wickets in Port of Spain. T&T, batting first, found themselves precariously placed at 104 for 5 before they were rescued by a 115-run partnership between Jeremy Solozano and Steven Katwaroo. Katwaroo was run out for 45, but Solozano stroked his way to 110, with 10 fours, guiding the team to 271. Jamaica, though, replied with a centurion of their own, as Andre McCarthy's patient 121 helped withstand a seven-for from legspinner Imran Khan. McCarthy added 149 for the fourth wicket with Tamar Lambert, who contributed just 45 to the partnership. No other batsman produced a score of note, but the platform laid by McCarthy meant Jamaica posted a total of 291 and secured a lead of 20. T&T fared poorly in the second innings, losing wickets at regular intervals right from the off, as Campbell wrecked their line-up on his way to picking up 7 for 73. The team lasted less than 70 overs and was bowled out for 175, setting Jamaica a target of 156. Campbell then marshaled Jamaica's chase by hitting seven fours for his 83 not out, and ran the target down inside 49 overs.

Guyana 337 (Vishaul 121, Johnson 74, Stoute 3-40) and 43 for 1 beat Barbados 104 (Motie 3-19, Permaul 3-41) and 272 (Carter 89, Motie 6-79) by nine wickets
Scorecard

A first-innings century from Vishaul Singh, and a nine-wicket match haul from left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie were the cornerstones of Guyana's nine-wicket win against Barbados at the Providence Stadium. Guyana, opting to bat, were lifted by Vishaul's 121, as well as his 50-plus partnerships with Leon Johnson (74) and Raymon Reifer (32). The team fell away slightly after Reifer's wicket, but Guyana nonetheless finished with a healthy 337. Guyana then further cemented their advantage by bowling the visitors out for 104, with no Barbados batsman managing a score more than 19. With a lead of 233 in hand, Guyana enforced the follow-on, but Barbados showed more fight in their second dig. Half-centuries from Jonathan Carter, Sharmarh Brooks and Roston Chase guided the team forward, but Motie ran through their line-up on his way to collecting 6 for 79, bundling Barbados out for 272. It meant Guyana needed just 40 for victory, and the team achieved that target inside eight overs.
