An eight-wicket match haul from the legspinner Damion Jacobs, and second-innings fifties from John Campbell and David Bernard helped Jamaica to a four-wicket victory against Leeward Islands at Sabina Park. After being inserted, Leeward Islands were shot out for 103 in 42.4 overs, with only three batsmen reaching double digits. Jacobs was the pick of the bowlers, collecting 5 for 27. Gavin Tonge responded with a five-for of his own (5 for 57) to wreck Jamaica's top and middle order, but the hosts recovered from 87 for 7 to post 222, thanks to a 100-run partnership between Nikita Miller (62) and Jacobs, who pitched in with 41. Orlando Peters took 4 for 44.
Leeward Islands fared better in their second essay, Montcin Hodge's 58 and Rahkeem Cornwall's 95 down the order lifted the team to 313, despite regular blows from Miller, Jacobs and Lambert, who each snared three wickets. Set 195 for the win, Jamaica slumped to 95 for 4 in the chase, but Campbell and Bernard's 89-run stand helped guide the team home in 55.1 overs. Campbell struck four fours and two sixes during his 68, while Bernard's 50 featured four fours.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.
