KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC – Trinidad and Tobago knocked over five-time defending champions Jamaica cheaply to grab the advantage on the opening day of their sixth round clash in the Regional Four-Day Championship here yesterday.
Sent in at Sabina Park, Jamaica were bundled out for 147 and at the close, T&T were 36 for one in reply.
Jamaica were 104 for three at one stage but collapsed to lose their last seven wickets for a mere 43 runs. Left-arm spinner Kavesh Kantasingh, in his first match of the regional season, led T&T’s attack with five for 35 while seamer Rayad Emrit kept up his good form with four for 35. Danza Hyatt top scored with 57 and Brenton Parchment got 25, but Jamaica failed to cope with T&T’s varied bowling line up.
