Jamaica consolidate their lead

Jamaica maintained top position with a 51-run victory over the Combined Campuses & Colleges, dismissing CCC for 169 about 25 minutes before lunch on the fourth and final day at the Three Ws Oval.

CCC, who resumed on 103 for 5 chasing 221, lost early wickets when Odean Brown had Ryan Austin caught at slip for 4, and next over Nikita Miller had Kevin McClean adjudged lbw, before Brown had Khismar Catlin caught at deep mid-off for 2. For almost half an hour Jamaica were held up when Jamel Noel joined Kavesh Kantasingh in a dogged last-wicket stand of 30 which was ended when Kantasingh pulled a short delivery from Gavin Wallace to the only fielder on the leg-side boundary.

Andrew Richardson was the pick of Jamaica's bowlers with 3 for 17 from 13 overs, but it was Miller who picked up the Man-of-the-Match award after finishing with match figures of 10 for 98.

Amit Jaggernauth took 6 for 47 as Trinidad and Tobago crushed Windward Islands by 167 runs at Guaracara Park with a session to spare. The only threats came from the weather and a spirited Darren Sammy, but that aside, Windwards were always heading to defeat.

Resuming on 82 for 3, Windwards lost five wickets in the morning session, the early dismissals of Andre Fletcher (14) and Liam Sebastien (2) all but ending their lingering hopes. Sammy, who finished with 61 in 111 minutes, and Kevin James posted a 38-run sixth-wicket stand before Jaggernauth had James caught behind. Sammy continued to hold firm in a seventh-wicket stand of 44 with Rawl Lewis, eventually perishing to a catch at extra cover as he tried to drive fast bowler Atiba Albert. Lewis fell in the last over before lunch, stumped by Denesh Ramdin off Jaggernauth for 18. Rain during the interval delayed the resumption, but when play did get underway the last two wickets fell cheaply.

Darren Bravo was named Man of the Match for his first-innings hundred, but he will miss at least the next three weeks after dislocating the middle finger on his right hand.

Soon after the end, Lewis announced his resignation as Windward Islands captain.
