Trinidad and To­ba­go Red Force clinched its on­ly vic­to­ry of the West In­dies Cham­pi­onship when they whipped bot­tom-of-the-ta­ble Ja­maica Scor­pi­ons by nine wick­ets in­side three days.

Play­ing at the Bri­an Lara Crick­et Acad­e­my in Tarou­ba, San Fer­nan­do on Fri­day in their fi­nal match of an oth­er­wise dis­ap­point­ing sea­son, Red Force bowled out Scor­pi­ons for 275 in their sec­ond in­nings be­fore eas­i­ly over­haul­ing the 99 runs re­quired for vic­to­ry.

Open­er Vikash Mo­han, in his third first class match af­ter mak­ing his de­but ear­li­er in the cam­paign, steered the hosts over the line with an un­beat­en 44.

He put on 74 for the first wick­et with Kamil Pooran who made 39, en­sur­ing Red Force en­coun­tered no hic­cups en route to the un­com­pli­cat­ed tar­get.

The 28-year-old right-han­der was pos­i­tive in his ap­proach to the chase, lash­ing five fours and a cou­ple of six­es in a 66-ball knock.

Once Pooran de­part­ed af­ter fac­ing 70 balls and strik­ing half-dozen fours, cap­tain Dar­ren Bra­vo ar­rived to belt two fours and a six in an un­beat­en 14, to bring a swift end to the con­test.

Ear­li­er, Scor­pi­ons man­aged to add on­ly 76 to their overnight 199 for five be­fore be­ing bowled out in their sec­ond in­nings on the stroke of lunch.

Al­daine Thomas, on sev­en at the start and Ab­hi­jai Mans­ingh, on 10, stretched their overnight sixth wick­et stand to 61, threat­en­ing to frus­trate the hosts bid for a quick vic­to­ry.

Thomas played freely, hit­ting 39 from 58 de­liv­er­ies with half-dozen fours and a six while Mans­ingh struck 32 from 54 balls with four fours.

Test speed­ster Shan­non Gabriel (2-52) got the break­through when he bowled both bats­men in suc­ces­sive overs as Scor­pi­ons lost their last five wick­ets for on­ly 23 runs.

Leg-spin­ner Im­ran Khan added a fur­ther three wick­ets to his tal­ly to fin­ish with four for 47.
