PROVIDENCE-T&T was cheaply dismissed for 118 from 46.1 overs after some stingy bowling from left-arm spinner Nikita Miller in the Final of the Regional Super50 tournament yesterday. This was at the Guyana National Stadium.Miller put Jamaica in control, grabbing three wickets for 19 runs from his allotment of 12 overs.Jason Mohammed continued to lead the T&T batting, hitting the top score of 32, but no other batsman reached 20 after the Red Force decided to bat.Andre Russell stepped up in the face of unusually wayward bowling from Krishmar Santokie, when he removed opener Justin Guillen for eight and William Perkins for seven, leaving T&T 21 for two in the eighth over.
Miller bowled Dwayne Bravo for one with a unplayable ball that turned and knocked out the off-stump, and then trapped T&T captain Daren Ganga lbw for seven, leaving the Red Force giddy on 30 for four.Mohammed, T&T's most prolific batsman in the tournament, joined Sherwin Ganga at the crease and put on 44 for the fifth wicket to stem the fall of wickets.Gayle, bowling his uncomplicated off-spin, made the breakthrough however, when he trapped Ganga lbw for 19, leaving T&T 74 for five – and they never fully recovered although they limped over the 100-run threshold.
