T&T in dominant position against Windwards

Jaggernauth and Khan shared seven wickets, as Windwards, responding to T&T’s first innings total of 263, were dismissed for 188 about 25 minutes before the tea break on the second day of their sixth round match at Queen’s Park Oval.

Off-spinner Jaggernauth was the pick of the T&T bowlers with four wickets for 58 runs from 25 overs, and leg-spinner Khan supported with three for 62 from 23.2 overs.

Andre Fletcher led the fight for the Windwards with 61, his captain Devon Smith, batting at six, made 37, and Deighton Butler was not out on 24.

Justin Guillen and Adrian Barath then consolidated T&T’s dominance, when they put on 101 for the first wicket to lead the host to 136 for one – an overall lead of 211 – at the close.

Guillen was dismissed in the final half-hour for 60, but Barath remained not out on 49, and was eyeing his second half-century of match on his return to competitive action, following a hamstring injury.

Barath and Guillen followed their 90-run opening stand in the first innings with another solid alliance.
