Carlos Brathwaite leads Barbados to beat Jamaica to claim a second Caribbean Twenty20 victory
Opting to bat first, Jamaica breezed to 38 without loss after four overs but then suffered a shocking collapse to lose ten wickets for 38 runs.
Campbell stroked two fours and was seemed set to change gears when he disappointingly holed out to mid-on off Carlos Brathwaite in the fourth over.
Bonner then followed in the seventh over with just two runs added, stumped off the first ball of Benn’s second over and the out-of-favor West Indies spinner then claimed Danza Hyatt (2) in his next over, to leave on Jamaica 42 for three.
David Bernard found Shamarh Brooks’s safe hands at deep midwicket to give Hinds his first wicket at 49 for four in the 11th over and captain Tamar Lambert’s 25-ball labour over seven finally ended in the next over when he was trapped leg before wicket by Carlos Brathwaite.
Two balls later, Aldaine Thomas edged low to Smith at first slip and Jamie Merchant also failed to score, falling to a catch at cover in the next over by Hinds.
When West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell perished to a catch at slip by Smith off Carlos Brathwaite for one with no runs added, Jamaica seemed dead and buried.
However, Krishmar Santokie banged two fours in a defiant 13, adding 21 for the ninth wicket with Nikita Miller (6), to get the score past 70.
Barbados’ reply started badly when Smith was run out in the second over for two, however, fellow opener Justin Brathwaite retaliated with three fours and a six in a cameo 23 off ten deliveries.
