World Premium Imports whip Combine All Stars

WPI, playing their first game, scored the second highest total of the tournament with 192 runs for the loss of five wickets in their 20 overs. West Indies batsman Lendl Simmons top-scored with a matured innings of 44 runs which included six fours and two sixes.

He was assisted by Trinidad and Tobago Red Force player Kjorn Ottley with 29 runs while Amid Mohammed and Teshawn Castro both chipped in with 28 runs each.

Apart from Christian Noray (2/18), the All Stars bowlers struggled as they gifted the batting team 22 extra runs from wides and no balls.

Combine All Stars had a horrid start to their batting innings and found themselves three wickets down for just 29 runs thanks to good bowling from Teshawn Castro who ended with the best figures of two for 26 from his four overs.

The game looked to be ending quickly but coming in at number five, Ferrier batted like a ‘Don’ as he battered the bowling to different parts of the field to provide some resistance. His entertaining innings of 97 runs came off 40 balls and saw a repertoire of sixes with the shot of the night being a slog sweep that sailed easily over the ropes.

Ferrier fell three runs short of a century in the last over with his knock still insufficient to challenge their opponents’ total, Combine All Stars’ closing on 148 for six. The 39 year old Guyanese was still named the Manof- the-Match for his valiant effort.
