ZONE A

Leeward XI VS. Windward Islands

A conscious effort from the Leewards XI's middle order saw them beat their Windward counterpart by a comfortable 5 wickets in their Zone A clash. Omari Banks took 3/55 from his 10 overs as the Windwards were held to just 206 runs in their 50 overs. Romel Currency (53) and Windies opener Devon Smith (38) added a quiet 71 runs for the first wicket, but only Darren Sammy (33) and captain Rawl Lewis (23) got past 18 runs.

The Leewards reply was initially shocking, as they lost 3 wickets for just 18 runs. The third to go was Runako Morton for 10. Fernix Thomas (2/47) and Cameron Cuffy (1/31) shared the 3 wickets. Stuart Williams and Tonito Willett then set about attacking the bowling and adding a quick 75 runs, before the former was out for 45. The score was at this time 93/4 and allrounder Carl Tuckett moved to the middle.

He and Willett added 78 runs before Willett was caught on the boundary for 55 off 75 balls - 171/5. From this point forward, there no scares as Banks and Tuckett took their team home with 5 overs to spare. Tuckett ended unbeaten on 71 off 100 with 6 fours and a six.
