Caribbean Twenty20: Trinidad & Tobago maul Guyana
The emphatic nature of T&T victory was a strong statement ahead of the second phase of the tournament in St Lucia starting Tuesday. After four matches, they are clear leaders on 13 points.
Chanderpaul, who faced 50 balls and struck eight fours, found an ally in Deonarine (14) in a 34-run fourth wicket partnership but the stand was another pedantic one, consuming 32 balls.
This time, it was Chanderpaul who collapsed under the burden of the quickly expanding required run rate and he squirted off-spinner Sunil Narine to Kevon Cooper at point in the 15th over, after frustratingly missing reverse sweeps off the two previous deliveries.
His departure signalled the end for Guyana, leaving the dismissals of Christopher Barnwell and Deonarine in the space of three balls with the score on 88 as mere window dressing, with the result already a foregone conclusion. – (CMC)
