Veerasammy Permaul’s mesmerizing 8-26 yesterday catapulted the Guyana Jaguars to a 92-run victory over the spluttering Windwards Volcanoes at the Guyana National Stadium at Providence.
Set a target of 283 to win after Guyana declared at 175-5, the Windwards flattered to deceive and their last seven wickets tumbled for 39 runs compliments of Permaul’s wizardry.
Permaul’s 11 wickets in the game and Man-of-the-match Narsingh Deonarine’s all-round performance were responsible for the team’s second consecutive win in this year’s WICB Professional Cricket League (PCL) Regional 4-day tournament.
The fourth and final day witnessed a magical spell of left-arm spin from the discarded West Indies bowler who razed the Windwards batting order to go along with his first innings figures of 3-40, ending with overall figures of 11-76. He took his tournament tally to 15 wickets.
Deonarine scored his second consecutive ton of the series, a majestic 139 in the first innings before returning with the ball to snare 5-24.
