Hurricanes beat Scorpions by seven wickets

KINGSTON, Jamaica – Leeward Islands Hurricanes wrapped up an easy seven-wicket victory over Jamaica Scorpions on the fourth morning of the regional first-class match at Sabina Park on Saturday.

Scores: Scorpions 221 (68.2 ovs) & 196 (62.3 ovs); Hurricanes 231 (58.3 ovs) & 189-3 (62.3 ovs).

Justin Greaves, who top-scored with 62 in the first innings, again led the way with a highly composed 94 not out to carry the Hurricanes to victory on a pitch that favoured spinners.

Wicketkeeper batsman Jahmar Hamilton added an unbeaten 21.

The Jamaica Scorpions 31-year-old off spinner Peat Salmon finished with 2-69 after capturing 5-50 in the first innings.

The Hurricanes picked up on Saturday from their overnight 145-3 and made light work of the remaining 42 runs required, achieving victory in approximately 40 minutes.

The competition is scheduled for a nearly three-week break before resuming with Round Six on April 10.

Then, the Scorpions are set to host Guyana Harpy Eagles, while the Hurricanes are scheduled take on Barbados Pride.
