Second win for Jamaican

January 13, 2012

Jamaica followed up a steady half-century from Nkrumah Bonner with purposeful bowling to sweep to a 50-run victory over Sussex.

Leg-spinner Odean Brown led the bowling with three wickets for 17 runs from four overs, as the Sharks failed to successfully chase 153 for victory in their rain-affected, top-of-the-table Group B match .

Jamaica collected the last nine Sussex wickets for 53 runs from 66 balls, including Nash for the top score of 26 and Gatting for 20, formalising the result when Santokie held a catch at fine leg to dismiss tail-ender Chris Liddle for 16 off Samuels with four balls remaining.

It was the second win for the Jamaicans in the competition, moving them to eight points, Sussex remain on four points.

Jamaica face Barbados in their next match tomorrow, Sussex meet Combined Campuses & Colleges on the same day.
