Red Force crush Jaguars to lift title

by

Trinidad and To­ba­go crushed Guyana Jaguars by 135 runs to win the fi­nal of the NAGI­CO Su­per50 yes­ter­day.

Led by a six-wick­et haul from cham­pi­on off-spin­ner Sunil Nar­ine, Red Force bowled out Jaguars for a pal­try 65 off 24 overs at Queen's Park Oval, to se­cure a ruth­less vic­to­ry.

Nar­ine fin­ished with re­mark­able fig­ures of six wick­ets for nine runs from eight overs as Jaguars, chas­ing 201 for vic­to­ry, crashed from a po­si­tion of 36 with­out loss to lose their last ten wick­ets for 29 runs.

Open­er Trevon Grif­fith top scored with 31 from 28 balls but once Nar­ine re­moved him in the sev­enth over, caught by Kieron Pol­lard at first slip, the in­nings plunged in­to ter­mi­nal de­cline.

Ja­son Mo­hammed, who had ear­li­er stroked a bril­liant un­beat­en 117, sup­port­ed with two wick­ets for three runs while seam­er Dwayne Bra­vo fin­ished with two for 29.

Grif­fith, mean­while, was the on­ly bats­man to get in­to dou­ble fig­ures.

Mo­hammed had ear­li­er res­cued Red Force with a well-con­trolled maid­en re­gion­al one-day hun­dred to help fire Trinidad and To­ba­go Red Force up to 200 for eight off their 50 overs.

With wick­ets tum­bling around him, the right-han­der stood firm to un­furl an in­nings of class–an un­beat­en 117 off 132 balls.

Sur­viv­ing a chance on 69, Mo­hammed went on to count­ed 11 fours and five six­es, help­ing to ral­ly the in­nings with four key part­ner­ships af­ter Guyana Jaguars had made ear­ly in­roads with their var­ied at­tack.

Mo­hammed put on 38 for the third wick­et with open­er Je­re­my Solozano (21), 43 for the fifth wick­et with Dwayne Bra­vo (10) and an­oth­er 34 for the sixth wick­et with Kieron Pol­lard (9).

How­ev­er, it was Mo­hammed's un­bro­ken ninth wick­et part­ner­ship of 52 off 33 balls with cap­tain Rayad Em­rit, who fin­ished 12 not out, that turned the game around for Red Force.

Left-arm spin­ner Veerasam­my Per­maul fin­ished with three for 22 while seam­ers Roys­ton Cran­don (2-27) and Wintz (2-44) picked up two wick­ets apiece. Mo­hammed and Solozano were the on­ly two bats­men to pass 20.

Scores:

T&T RED FORCE 200 for eight off 50 overs (Ja­son Mo­hammed 117 not out, Je­re­my Solozano 21; Veerasam­my Per­maul 3-22, Roys­ton Cran­don 2-27, Paul Wintz 2-44). GUYANA JAGUARS 65 off 24 overs (Trevon Grif­fith 31; Sunil Nar­ine 6-9, Ja­son Mo­hammed 2-3, Dwayne Bra­vo 2-29)?
