Trinidad and Tobago's skipper Daren Ganga hit a polished century but his side had to settle for a draw in their opening Carib Series match against Guyana at Guaracara Park on Monday.
Ganga was named Man Of The Match for his brilliant 111 not out as his side made 332 for five in the second innings to set Guyana 298 to win.
The Guyanese ended on 192 for six after collapsing to a nervous 126 for five with 13 overs plus the mandatory 15 remaining.
Ganga, 46 overnight, played with assurance and reached his century off 214 balls in 272 minutes with seven boundaries.
Navin Chan (66) gave solid support and counted seven fours in his knock that lasted 193 minutes as the two piled up an unbroken 181-run sixth-wicket stand.
At the Valley Anguilla, Jamaica and the Leewards Islands played out a tame draw at the Ronald Webster Park.
The Leewards were 167 for three in their second innings after they had bowled out Jamaica for 444, in reply to their first innings 357.
Alex Adams (65) and Sylvester Joseph (56 not out) cracked entertaining late afternoon half-centuries for the Leewards before the game was called off.
Adams entertained the small crowd, as he struck pacer Franklyn Rose for three fours in his fifth over. His half-century came off 58 deliveries, with ten fours. Joseph knock included three sixes and four fours.
Earlier, Leewards off-spinner Omari Banks completed a marathon bowling performance sending down 70 overs taking three for 122.
