Guyana Jaguars took less than an hour to claim Trinidad and Tobago Red Force’s final four wickets to win their third round Cricket West Indies Regional four-day clash by 219 runs at the National Stadium, Providence yesterday.

Under cloudy conditions with drizzles, Red Force resumed yesterday’s final day on the brink of defeat at 122 for six. Only 16 overs were bowled for the day as the visitors folded for 183 in 61.2 overs, chasing 403 for victory.

Jaguars’ Head Coach, Esaun Crandon stated, “We stamped our authority at home… before the game I asked the guys to come out and play some good cricket and own the conditions and we did that pretty well.”
