Trinidad and Tobago 196 for 8 (Ganga 104*, Khan 48) v Jamaica
Scorecard

On a rain-shortened day at Shaw, Trinidad and Tobago were struggling on 196 for 8 against Jamaica with only Daren Ganga, the captain, providing some stability in a fragile batting display. T&T suffered an early blow when Jerome Taylor bowled Lendl Simmons for 0 in the first over of the game. Ganga, unbeaten on 104, held the innings together with modest support from Imran Khan, the opener, scoring 48 in a 103 run-partnership. After the dismissal of Khan at 102 for 2, there was a batting collapse that left T&T reeling at 138 for six. Taylor was the most successful of the Jamaican bowlers with 3 for 48, while Odean Brown took 2 for 20.

Ganga, who brought up his first century of the series and his fifth regional hundred, dedicated it to his younger brother, Sherwin, who is recovering from a recent surgery following a facial injury suffered against Jamaica.
