KINGSTON – Barbados Pride pressed for an unlikely victory, but in the end the Jamaica Scorpions held on to share the spoils in their second-round contest which ended in an exciting draw here yesterday.
An outright result didn’t look to be on the cards with the Pride holding a slim three-run first innings lead heading into Wednesday’s final day.
Resuming the day on 460 for five, Kyle Mayers and Leniko Boucher extended their partnership to 104 runs to carry the Pride to 542 for five.
Mayers, who had batted cautiously on Tuesday’s penultimate day, changed gears with his side needing quick runs, smashing six fours and five sixes during a knock of 84 off 130 balls.
Medium pacer Odean Smith got the breakthrough for the Red Force when he had Mayers caught, and
with ten runs added he also snared the wicket of Boucher for 24 to make the score 552 for seven. (CMC)
