Trinidad tops Zone A with Jamaican victory
Staff Reporter - 7 October 2001
Trinidad and Tobago handed Jamaica a 93-run home defeat in a rain-
curtailed match at Sabina Park, going on to top Zone A of the Red
Stripe Bowl.
Opting to bat, the visitors scored 194 in 35 overs, Andy Jackson top-
scoring with 59 off 56 balls. He received fine support from Lincoln
Roberts, who scored 48 in the second-wicket collaboration of 74 runs.
Ricardo Powell picked up three wickets for Jamaica, but the rest of
the bowlers failed to make any impression. Self-destruction played a
large part of the Trinidadian innings, with five batsmen being run
out.
Jamaica, in reply, could muster only 101 for 5, reined in
significantly by Trinidad left-arm spinner Dave Mohammed's figures of
7-2-8-2 and captain Dinanath Ramnarine's performance of 6-1-10-1.
Eight bowlers, including star batsman Brian Lara, turned their arm
over against Jamaica as Ramnarine rang in the changes to effect a
comprehensive victory.
