...Presentation coming up...
Jamaica Tallawahs got a wicket at the start but later on could not pick wickets and also could not stem the run flow. They were outplayed by a side that is in some form and Barbados deserved this win. David Miller will be happy with how they bowl in the first innings. Apart from the middle phase, they bossed the game and with the bat, one big partnership was enough to stay on top of the table.
They lost Mayers early but Quinton de Kock and Corbin Bosch put up a really good stand. De Kock was brilliant. Showed all his experience and played quite sensibly. He was the mainstay. Bosch partnered de Kock for a stand worth 117 runs and played really well. It did get nervy towards the end but Barbados Royals managed to get over the line.
Yet another win for Barbados Royals and they just look unbeatable. The last three overs in the first innings is what won them the game. At one stage, 175 looked on the cards for Jamaica Tallawahs but brilliant death bowling saw them finish with below 160 and it was a well-calculated chase.
