KINGSTOWN, St Vincent, CMC – Man-of-the-Match John Campbell snatched a five-wicket haul and then smashed a cameo, unbeaten half-century as Jamaica Scorpions broke their four-game losing slump in the Regional four-day championship with a convincing nine-wicket win over Windward Islands Volcanoes here yesterday.
Playing on the final day of the ninth round contest at the Arnos Vale Stadium, the 22-year-old claimed five for 106 with his part-time off-spin to send the hosts tumbling for 350 in their second innings.
They resumed on 245 for four but lost their last six wickets for 105 runs with Campbell picking up four of the wickets to fall.
Veteran left-arm spinner Nikita Miller provided support, taking four for 90.
Set 139 for victory, Scorpions raced to their target off 34.4 overs, with the left-handed Campbell pummelling a stroke-filled 83 and fellow opener Shacaya Thomas scoring 52.
Campbell faced just 97 deliveries and belted six fours and four sixes, putting on 133 with the right-handed Thomas who counted four boundaries in a 107-ball knock.
