B’dos narrowly avoid defeat to T&T
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (CMC) Trinidad and Tobago ended just two wickets short of an unlikely victory as Barbados were made to hang on for dear life on the final evening as their WICB first-class match came to a thrilling
climax at Kensington Oval yesterday.
The Barbadian ninth-wicket pair of Patrick Browne and Kemar Roach batted out the last five overs to keep the rampaging Trinis at bay, as leg-spinner Imran Khan again tormented the hosts by grabbing four for 51.
Set an unlikely victory target of 298 off 61 overs after Trinidad declared their second innings at 412 for nine at lunch, Barbados ended on 193 for eight when the match finished at 5.03 pm.
T&T skipper Daren Ganga praised his team for their superb comeback effort after losing first-innings lead by 115 runs.
