YOUNG TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO CRICKETERS WIN IN BERMUDA
A second consecutive half-century by skipper Shazan Babwah and a four-wicket burst by fast bowler Ravi Rampaul spurred the touring Trinidadian club side Clico Preysal to an 84-run victory over a young and inexperienced Bermuda side at the National Sports Centre on Tuesday night.
Babwah followed up his knock of 81 on Monday night in a Twenty20 match by scoring a powerful 73 at better than a run-a-ball that underpinned the tourists' modest 211.
Rampaul then left the home team's innings in tatters under the lights with four wickets in his first three overs before finishing with figures of four for 24 from seven overs as Bermuda subsided to 127 all out in the 40th over.
Rampaul removed Chris Douglas, Azeem Pitcher and skipper Dean Minors for ducks.
The only resistance came from Kwame Tucker, who was eventually run out for 60.
Slow bowler Vishan Jagessar took two for 18 from five overs.
Earlier, West Indies wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin failed for the second time on tour, following up his one on Monday by being caught at second slip for seven off teenager Malachi Jones, who picked up two for 42 off eight overs.
Lanky fast bowler Ryan Steede (2-33) and medium pacer Dean Stevens (2-29) also enjoyed some success.
After Steede removed Babwah, it needed a late-innings surge from tailenders Anderson Bryce (26) and Keegan Roy (22) to lift the total past the 200 mark.
With such first-team regulars as Clay Smith, Irving Romaine and Janeiro Tucker all resting - and with coach Gus Logie taking a back seat to allow his understudy Herbie Bascome to assume the coaching responsibilities - Tuesday's game was clearly used to experiment and allow players on the fringes of the squad to prove they deserved greater recognition.
Only a sparse crowd turned up.
The second 50 overs day-night match scheduled for Wednesday has been moved to today.
