Red Force, Jamaica look to bounce back

The Red Force were no match for leaders Guyana Jaguars in round seven at the Queen’s Park Oval, as the match ended early on the fourth day. TT are now fifth in the six-team table, only five points ahead of last placed Windward Islands Volcanoes.

Jamaica, meanwhile, were embarrassed at home by the Leeward Islands Hurricanes in their last match, bundled out for 56 and 114 in a low scoring affair.

The Red Force will be without the batting pair of Jason Mohammed and Evin Lewis, as they have been called up to the West Indies team to face Pakistan in a T20 series.

However, the Red Force bowling attack has been boosted with the inclusion of fast bowlers Rayad Emrit and Sheldon Cottrell.

In the other round eight match starting today, the Volcanoes will face the Leeward Islands Hurricanes at Warner Park in St Kitts.

The match between Barbados Pride and Guyana Jaguars started yesterday at Kensington Oval in Barbados.

TT Red Force: Kyle Hope (captain), Jeremy Solozano, Yannic Cariah, Nicholas Alexis, Imran Khan, Rayad Emrit, Sheldon Cottrell, Steven Katwaroo, Marlon Richards, Bryan Charles, Khary Pierre, Isaiah Rajah, Anderson Phillip.

Jamaica Scorpions: Nikita Miller (captain), Jermaine Blackwood, Damion Jacobs, Brandon King, Andre McCarthy, Marquino Mindley, Paul Palmer Jr, Rovman Powell, Devon Thomas, Oraine Williams, John Campbell, Fabian Allen, Derval Green.
