GEORGETOWN, Guyana, CMC – Isaiah Rajah notched his second half-century in his third Regional Four-Day game but perished in the day’s final over to leave Trinidad and Tobago Red Force with the daunting task of saving their fourth round game against reigning champions Guyana Jaguars yesterday.

At the close of yesterday’s rain-hit penultimate day at the National Stadium here where only 48 overs were possible, Red Force were perched on 96 for two but still requiring a further 120 runs to make the hosts bat again.

The left-handed Rajah, who made his first class debut last month, stroked an enterprising 63 off 116 balls in 141 minutes, with eight fours and one six.
