Jhye Richardson returns with a bang as WA crush Victoria

Behrendorff claimed 3 for 14 and Richardson 2 for 32 as Victoria were bowled out for just 107, with WA chasing it in 23.4 overs to claim a bonus point

AAP and ESPNcricinfo staff09-Oct-2023Jhye Richardson made a successful return from injury as Western Australia crushed Victoria by six wickets in their Marsh Cup match at the WACA Ground.Player of the match Jason Behrendorff snared 3 for 14 off five overs on Monday and Richardson chipped in with 2 for 36 as Victoria were skittled for 107 in 21.1 overs.In reply, WA raced to victory with a whopping 158 balls to spare, giving them a bonus point and a perfect 3-0 start to their title defence. The Marsh Cup ladder-leaders have now won 12 straight matches in the 50-over competition and again loom as the team to beat having won the last two titles convincingly and three of the last four overall.Sam Whiteman (38 not out off 51 balls) and D’Arcy Short (39 off 39) made light work of the run chase in an easy win for the hosts.WA captain Ashton Turner’s decision to bowl first proved a masterstroke as Victoria crashed to 22 for 3. Richardson, playing for the first time since hamstring surgery last summer, got the ball rolling with the early scalps of Sam Harper and Campbell Kellaway.But it was Behrendorff’s spell that truly ripped the heart out of Victoria’s batting line-up. Behrendorff trapped opener Tom Rogers lbw before having Jonathan Merlo caught at gully. The 33-year-old then produced the ball of the innings to knock over Peter Handscomb for 7. Handscomb simply had no answer as Behrendorff’s delivery swung back sharply to crash into the top of leg stump, leaving Victoria reeling at 45 for 5.Jason Behrendorff took 3 for 14•Getty Images

AJ Tye and Lance Morris joined in on the fun to leave Victoria at 62 for 8 and in danger of not passing their lowest score in the competition, 65 against Queensland in 2003.Tailenders Fergus O’Neill and Todd Murphy ensured Victoria avoided a new nadir. O’Neill top scored for the innings with 22 while Murphy scored 20 all in boundaries but the total was never going to be enough against a stacked WA line-up.Victoria’s insipid display came just a day after Jake Fraser-McGurk, who moved from Victoria to South Australia for greater opportunities, scored a 29-ball century for the Redbacks in their loss to Tasmania. Fraser-McGurk’s final score of 125 off 38 balls comfortably eclipsed Victoria’s team total on Monday.The heavy defeat capped a bad few days for Victoria, who lost to WA by an innings and 53 runs in the Sheffield Shield on Saturday.Richardson, who has been plagued by shoulder and soft tissue injuries in recent years, is aiming to produce a strong summer in order to work his way back into the international arena. His performance on Monday was an important first step, though it remains to be seen when WA will unleash him in red-ball cricket.

Rohit on Pant dismissal: 'The bat was clearly close to the pad'

“If we say something, it is not accepted well. But if there is not conclusive evidence, it has to stand with the umpire’s on-field decision”

Manjrekar: ‘With Pant, the word genius came to mind’

Rishabh Pant’s dismissal in India’s fourth-innings chase has emerged as a potentially match-turning moment in the Mumbai Test. He was given out caught bat-pad, with DRS overturning the on-field umpire’s decision, and India captain Rohit Sharma is not sure if that was the right call. Pant stood between New Zealand and a historic 3-0 series sweep with 64 off 57 balls, and before his dismissal India were 106 for 6, their target 41 runs away. New Zealand eventually won by 25 runs.”About that dismissal, I honestly, I don’t know,” Rohit said after the match. “If we say something, it is not accepted well. But if there is not conclusive evidence, it has to stand with the umpire’s on-field decision. That is what I have been told. So I don’t know how that decision was overturned, since the umpire didn’t give him out.Related

“The bat was clearly close to the pad. So, again, I don’t know if it is the right thing for me to talk about. It is something for the umpires to think about. Have the same rules for every team, not keep changing their mind.”New Zealand had already missed a chance to review an lbw shout against Pant earlier in the day, when India were 59 for 5. Replays returned three reds on that incident. Then, in the 22nd over, Ajaz Patel twice went up in appeal against Pant. Once for a catch at slip. The on-field decision was not-out, and DRS upheld it.Two balls later, Ajaz spotted Pant charging out of his crease, pulled his length back, and forced the batter into a defensive prod. Pant had enjoyed a lot of success when he had come down the track in this innings, often hitting the ball straight and hard to the boundary. Here he had little choice but to try and adjust, and the ball lobbed off him, into the keeper’s gloves. Ajaz and the close-in fielders thought there had been an inside edge onto his front pad. Umpire Richard Illingworth didn’t. New Zealand captain Tom Latham sent it upstairs for a review.Rishabh Pant walks back, unhappy with the third umpire’s decision•AFP/Getty Images

A spike appeared on UltraEdge when the ball seemed to pass the bat. But the bat and pad were also in close proximity at the same time, which meant the spike could have come from the bat brushing the pad.When the replays came up on the big screen, New Zealand began celebrating. Pant looked completely unflustered until this point – he’d performed a double glove-touch with his batting partner Washington Sundar as soon as New Zealand went up to review; it was their last remaining review. Now he walked over to the on-field officials with his hand extended.Third umpire Paul Reiffel, in making his judgment, noted that the spike could have been from bat hitting pad. But then, after further replays and rocking-and-rolling of the moment where bat, pad and ball were close together, he changed his mind based on what he thought was a deflection at the moment the ball passed the bat.Latham explained New Zealand’s thinking about the dismissal at the post-match press conference. “A few of us heard two noises, and I guess when you review in that situation you leave it up to the umpire’s hands,” he said. “We can’t necessarily see the footage that the third umpire gets so that’s certainly out of our control in terms of what that may look like. We obviously heard a couple of noises and decided to take the review and obviously it fell on the right side for us so that’s obviously up to the umpires. It’s out of our control.”New Zealand had reduced India to 29 for 5 on a rank turner and looked heavy favourites to win. But Pant managed to turn the tide for a while and Rohit felt his wicket had a huge impact on the game. “That dismissal actually was very, very crucial from our point of view. Rishabh was really looking good at that point. And it felt like he will take us through. But it was an unfortunate dismissal. Got out and then we were bowled out right after that.”

Madsen hundred lifts Derbyshire hopes of first win

Wayne Madsen made an unbeaten century to give Derbyshire a chance to break their Championship duck against Leicestershire

Wayne Madsen’s 23rd first-class century for Derbyshire has given his team an excellent chance of ending their county championship drought in the Division Two match against Leicestershire at Derby.Derbyshire were in trouble at 57 for 5, a lead of only 117, but Madsen and wicketkeeper Harvey Hosein, 58, added 143 in 42 overs to put the home side on course for a first four day win of the season.Leicestershire skipper Mark Cosgrove had made an unbeaten 95 and Clint McKay claimed his 50th championship wicket of the summer but Madsen’s unbeaten 134 guided Derbyshire to 286 for 8 at the close, a lead of 346.Cosgrove had two aims when play started, to get to three figures and to restrict Derbyshire’s lead, but Leicestershire added only 19 runs in an hour for the last two wickets.Tom Milnes found some away swing to take the outside edge of Richard Jones’s bat and although Charlie Shreck stayed with Cosgrove for nearly nine overs, Tony Palladino had him caught at third slip off his first ball of the day.Cosgrove deserved a hundred for the way he had battled with a damaged hand to keep his side in the game but his bowlers hit back strongly either side of lunch to regain the initiative.Ben Slater had already survived a confident appeal for a catch behind before he clipped Clint McKay low to midwicket and Derbyshire captain Billy Godleman quickly followed when he played on to a ball that kept a little low.Signs of uneven bounce were both good and bad news for Leicestershire but their hopes of chasing a modest target in the fourth innings rose when Alex Hughes was run out by a direct hit after Madsen called him through for a sharp single.When Neil Broom was lbw for three to one that nipped back from Neil Dexter fourth ball after lunch, Derbyshire were 32 for 4 and in danger of letting the game slip away but although Tom Wood fell to Shreck nine overs later, it was the signal for the game to take another twist.Perhaps the run-out of Hughes had provided Madsen with added motivation or maybe it was because he was batting against Leicestershire who must be fed up of bowling at him.He has now scored four centuries against them and this latest one was his fifth of the season and his fourth in the last nine championship matches. Hosein completed his second fifty of the match and Tom Milnes and Tony Palladino helped take the lead well past 300 but the day belonged to Madsen.

Clarke ton keeps Derbyshire at arm's length

Joe Clarke gave another example of his blossoming potential with a sixth first-class hundred of the season for Worcestershire on day one

Joe Clarke gave another example of his blossoming potential with a sixth first-class hundred of the season for Worcestershire on day one of the Specsavers County Championship clash with Derbyshire at New Road. Clarke celebrated his inclusion in the England Lions squad for their winter programme by moving to three figures off 200 balls with 13 fours and one six as the home side closed on 255 for 6.The 20-year-old has maintained a level of consistency throughout his first full season of senior cricket and had already passed 1000 Championship runs for the campaign in the previous match against Sussex and Hove. He helped Worcestershire to recover from a testing start to the day against their bottom-placed opponents in which Brett D’Oliveira and Tom Fell were dismissed by Tom Milnes in the opening 12 overs after an uncontested toss.A quickly taken single off Alex Hughes took Clarke to a chanceless century. He was well supported by skipper Daryl Mitchell who reached 1000 first class runs for 2016 in his benefit year and continued the upturn in fortunes he has enjoyed in recent weeks.Worcestershire went into the game still harbouring outside hopes of overhauling Kent for second spot and £43,000 of prize money. But Milnes gave them a searching examination early on and D’Oliveira’s poor run of scores continued when he was bowled for a duck in the second over of the day.Fell looked in prime form and reeled off a succession of impressive boundaries in making 24 but then succumbed to a fine catch by Alex Hughes.Mitchell and Clarke were initially watchful with Worcestershire mindful of avoiding the first-innings collapses that have been an unwanted feature during the second half of the summer. But the third wicket-pair gradually blossomed and Mitchell square cut Milnes for four to bring up his half-century off 109 balls with eight boundaries. Mitchell looked on course for a third successive hundred at New Road until he was trapped lbw by Ben Cotton via a delivery which jagged back.Clarke profited from a series of pull shots and straight drives and was seldom troubled by the Derbyshire attack. George Rhodes was caught behind off Cotton after adding 59 in 23 overs with Clarke who lofted Wayne Madsen for a straight six before a quickly taken single off Hughes took him to his hundred out of 221 for 4.Tom Kohler-Cadmore, who came into the game on the back of successive pairs against Glamorgan and Sussex, was bowled by Tony Palladino after shouldering arms and Ben Cox then provided a third success for Cotton when Tom Wood held onto a low juggling catch at second slip.

Ravi Bopara hundred leaves Kent sweating on last-eight spot

Home side beaten in rain-affected match but can still qualify for quarter-finals

ECB Reporters Network30-Jun-2023Sussex 228 for 7 (Bopara 108) beat Kent 117 for 4 (Cox 37*) by 11 runs (DLS method)A superb century from Ravi Bopara helped the Sussex Sharks beat the Kent Spitfires by 11 runs in a rain-affected Vitality Blast match at Canterbury on Friday night.Bopara played a magnificent, almost chanceless, innings to record his highest-ever T20 score of 108 from 53 balls, with 18 fours and just one six, as Sussex posted a massive 228 for 7, Tom Clark getting their next-highest score with 47.Kent were 31 for one in reply after 3.2 overs when heavy rain began to fall and they were set a revised target of 129 from 10 overs via the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern Method. Needing to hit out as soon as play resumed, they lost wickets too regularly to seriously threaten Sussex and finished on 117 for 4, although they remain in the top four.There was another Friday night sell-out at the Spitfire Ground, but Kent’s decision to bowl first soon backfired as they struggled to cope with damp and blustery conditions.Jack Leaning bowled Harrison Ward for 5 with the fifth ball of the night and Oli Carter also went early, chipping Matt Quinn to Michael Hogan at mid-on for 3 but from 14 for 2 the Sharks launched a blistering counterattack. Bopara cover drove his first ball for four and took 14 from the over. Clark then took 18 from Leaning’s next over and it was 73 for 2 by the end of the powerplay, by which time persistent drizzle was falling.Clark looked in incendiary form, but when he tried to take a single off Joey Evison he was sent back by Bopara and run out by George Linde. Shadab Khan came in and hit Linde for successive sixes, but when he tried to repeat the feat he was caught by Jordan Cox on the boundary for 15.Michael Burgess hit 21 from 14, but after switch-hitting Linde for six he was caught behind off the next ball.Bopara responded by taking 19 from Grant Stewart’s 15th over and he reached three figures with an elegant cover drive off Hogan for two in the 19th. Hogan had Fynn Hudson-Prentice lbw for 16 and Bopara finally went for 108, perhaps unluckily, when he hit a waist-high full toss from Quinn to Alex Blake.Kent knew they’d have to eclipse their previous highest run chase of 207 to win a T20 match but just three came from the first over and Tawanda Muyeye then played on to Ari Karvelas and was bowled for 1.Blake went in at No. 3 for his first appearance of the season and immediately went on the charge. He hit the first ball of Tymal Mills’ fourth over for four and dumped the next into the Sainsbury’s next to the ground for six, but at this point the umpires decided the rain had become too heavy and when they returned Kent needed 98 from 40 balls.Daniel Bell-Drummond, having scored 480 runs across formats in the previous week, had to retire hurt on 7 and although Sam Billings was dropped by Clark off his first ball, before the over was out Blake holed out for a 12-ball 30.Linde hit 12 from three before he was run out chasing a second but Billings and Cox just about kept Kent in it. The former was run out chasing a non-existent single and after Mills went for just six in the 19th, Kent needed 26 from Nathan McAndrew’s final over. They could only manage 14 but results elsewhere mean they can still qualify if they win at Taunton on Sunday.

Leus du Plooy foils Durham again to underpin Derbyshire resistance

Solid support from Harry Came and Anju Dal enables home side to recover from 58 for 4

ECB Reporters Network05-Sep-2022Derbyshire 306 (du Plooy 82, Came 78, Dal 56, Rushworth 3-60) vs DurhamLeus du Plooy enjoyed another good day at Durham’s expense as Derbyshire recovered in the LV=Insurance County Championship match at the Incora County Ground.The Division Two promotion hopefuls were struggling at 58 for 4 but du Plooy followed his two centuries in the game at Chester-le Street in July with 82 from 123 balls. Harry Came scored a career-best 78, sharing a stand of 143 in 32 overs with du Plooy before Anuj Dal added 56 as Derbyshire were bowled out for 306, Chris Rushworth and Ben Raine both taking three wickets.Durham’s decision to bowl on a well-grassed pitch looked a good one when Rushworth and Raine reduced Derbyshire to 31 for 3. Luis Reece went to the second ball of the match when he edged Rushworth into the gloves of Tom Mackintosh and Billy Godleman’s poor season in the Championship continued when he played on driving at Raine in the next over.Brooke Guest again looked the part at No. 3, showing good judgement in challenging conditions but Derbyshire lost another big wicket in Rushworth’s sixth over. Wayne Madsen had to play at a ball that seamed away and was caught behind for 9 and Guest, who scored a hundred at Chester-le-Street in July, was also the victim of a good delivery.Guest drove Rushworth down the ground for four and, with du Plooy, was starting to rebuild the innings when Raine nipped one away to take his off stump.Another wicket before lunch would have plunged Derbyshire into deep trouble but Came and du Plooy negotiated nine overs and batting became increasingly easier in the afternoon.The inevitable change of ball came after 40 overs but Durham probably wished they had stuck with the old one as du Plooy drove the first delivery from Raine back past the bowler for his ninth four to reach 50 from 73 balls. He took three more fours from the over and with Durham’s bowlers failing to maintain the consistency they showed in the morning, du Plooy and Came played with increasing assurance.Came scored his maiden first-class fifty at Trent Bridge earlier in the season and two sixes off Liam Trevaskis got him moving towards a second. He launched the left-arm spinner down the ground before dispatching a full toss over the ropes and with du Plooy punishing anything short or overpitched, the momentum swung towards Derbyshire.The pair looked set to bat through the session when du Plooy aimed a loose forcing shot outside off stump at Trevaskis and was caught behind.Durham’s bowlers could not apply any sustained pressure after tea and Came pulled Oliver Gibson for his fifth four to pass his previous best score of 70. But Gibson, who bowled at a lively pace, yorked him just before the second new ball which accounted for the tail although Dal completed another half-century to secure a third batting point before he was out in the last over of the day.

Jofra Archer could play for England at World Cup after ECB amend eligibility rules

ECB reduce qualification period from seven years to three, following board meeting at Lord’s on Wednesday

Andrew Miller29-Nov-2018Jofra Archer could be set to play for England in the both the World Cup and the Ashes next year, after the ECB announced a change to its eligibility criteria – from seven years to three – following its board meeting at Lord’s on Wednesday.Archer, 23, was born and raised in Barbados, and represented West Indies at Under-19 level. However, he has been on Sussex’s books since arriving at the county in 2015, and has risen to become one of the most sought-after all-round talents in the world game – a quick and accurate fast bowler and hard-hitting batsman, who was bought by Rajasthan Royals for £800,000 in last year’s IPL auction.Under the previous ECB regulations, Archer had been braced to serve a seven-year residency qualification, which would have made him available to England in 2022, by which stage he would have been 27. The terms of that regulation also required him to be in the UK for 210 days a year – causing conflicting priorities for a man who would be a marquee pick at any T20 tournament around the world.In a press release, the ECB confirmed the changing criteria for players such as Archer, who had moved to the UK after their 18th birthday, stating that the new regulations brought the board into line with the ICC’s own regulations, which were themselves amended this year from four years to three.The change will come into force on January 1, 2019, meaning that Archer could conceivably make his England debut on the tour of the Caribbean that starts later that month.However, it is understood that, in order to meet his 210-day limit in time for that tour, Archer – who is currently playing in the T10 in the UAE – might have to renege on some of his oversees commitments, including this winter’s Big Bash. Otherwise, he will be become eligible to play for England in March.”The exact date of Jofra’s qualification will depend on the time he spends out of the country during the rest of 2018-19,” said a Sussex spokesman. “Qualifying for England has long been an aim of Jofra’s and Sussex Cricket is delighted for him that this ambition will now be realised sooner than previously envisaged.”Reacting to the news on Twitter, Archer wrote: “It may or may not happen but I would love to debut in front of my family.”
The new ECB eligibility criteria for players, both men and women, from January 1, 2019, are:a) British Citizenship and,

b) Either born in England/Wales, or 3 years residence (a total of 210 days/year April-March) and

c) Not played as a local player in professional international or domestic cricket in a Full Member country within the last 3 yearsThe decision could be a massive fillip for England going into their home World Cup campaign, in which they start as favourites after a remarkable turnaround in fortunes in recent seasons.Eoin Morgan, the England ODI captain, was understood to have been an advocate for Archer’s fast-tracking – albeit he denied this in comments back in June – for if England lack one attribute in an otherwise very well rounded squad, it is a reliably quick spearhead, to complement an attack in which Chris Woakes, Ben Stokes, Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid are arguably the first-choice picks.When fit, Mark Wood has been a preferred option to provide England with a pace injection, but his ongoing ankle issues mean his availability cannot be taken for granted, while Liam Plunkett – who plays a crucial role in the middle overs of an ODI innings – will have turned 34 by the time the tournament gets underway.

Jackson 160, Vasavada 112* deflate Karnataka

Their 232-run stand helped Saurashtra recover from 92 for 3 and go into day four trailing by just 43 runs

ESPNcricinfo staff10-Feb-2023A fourth-wicket partnership of 232 between centurions Sheldon Jackson (160) and captain Arpit Vasavada (112*) spearheaded Saurashtra’s charge in their Ranji Trophy semi-final against Karnataka in Bengaluru.After scoring 407, achieved mainly due to Mayank Agarwal’s marathon 248, Karnataka had Saurashtra wobbling at 92 for 3 half hour into play on the third day. Then, they ran into Jackson and Vasavada, who battled for a better part of the day to run them ragged. Saurashtra ended day three on 364 for 4, trailing by just 43 runs.Vasavada has Chirag Jani (19*) for company in their quest to take the lead. With just two days remaining, Saurashtra will fancy their chances of entering their second final in three seasons given they bat till No. 10. The pitch hasn’t deteriorated as much as Karnataka’s bowlers would’ve liked, and the swing and seam movement that was on offer for much of the first day has given way to easier batting conditions since.Harvik Desai fell in the fifth over of play when he was struck plumb in front by V Koushik for 33. That was the only bit of joy for Karnataka in the first two sessions as Jackson counterattacked at every available opportunity. At the other end, Vasavada, who was hit on the helmet on nought and then had to be cleared for concussion, took his time to get his eye in before opening up to play some wonderful shots, especially against spin.Particularly impressive was his ability to step out and hit against the turn off Gowtham. Jackson fell for 160 with an hour to go for stumps when he played back to a sharp-turner from Gowtham that kept low to strike him in front of middle.By then, he’d defied Karnataka’s attack, scoreboard pressure, serious sledging, a bump-catch appeal that the hosts celebrated and some cramps on a moderately hot day to put Saurashtra in a commanding position.

Dale Steyn, Quinton de Kock rested from first two ODIs

Aiden Markram and Duanne Olivier have been called up as their replacements

ESPNcricinfo staff16-Jan-2019South Africa have rested Dale Steyn and Quinton de Kock from the first two ODIs against Pakistan, and called up Duanne Olivier and Aiden Markram in their place. Heinrich Klaasen is set to take the keeping gloves in de Kock’s absence.Olivier is yet to make his ODI debut. The fast bowler’s call-up has come in the wake of a highly successful Test series against Pakistan, which brought him a chart-topping 24 wickets at an average of 14.70.Steyn’s resting follows an injury scare during the third Test in Johannesburg, when the fast bowler left the field on day two, clutching his shoulder. Olivier insisted Steyn was “perfectly fine” in his end-of-day press conference, and Steyn went on to bowl 20 overs – the most by any of the South Africa fast bowlers – in Pakistan’s second innings.South Africa squad for first two ODIs: Faf du Plessis(c), Hashim Amla, Aiden Markram, Reeza Hendricks, Imran Tahir, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Dane Paterson, Andile Phehlukwayo, Dwaine Pretorius, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi, Duanne Olivier, Rassie van der Dussen

Barbados, T&T start off with wins

A round-up of the opening day’s matches from the 2016 Nagico Super50

ESPNcricinfo staff08-Jan-20162:29

Bishop: One of Lewis’ best knocks

Opener Evin Lewis struck 74 off 71 balls as Trinidad & Tobago defeated Jamaica by 84 runs at Queen’s Park Oval. Lewis propelled his side to a speedy start after electing to bat, before a middle-order collapse had the hosts fall to 119 for 6 before the halfway point of the innings.A lower-order revival was led by Rayad Emrit and Marlon Richards, who scored 43 and 31 respectively to get T&T past 200. Legspinner Damion Jacobs finished with 3 for 40 as Jamaica restricted T&T to 137 in 47.2 overs. Richards continued his solid match by ripping out the Jamaica middle order to claim 5 for 36 as the visitors were eventually bowled out for 137 in the 43rd over.Barbados held off a gritty ICC Americas upset bid to win by four wickets in St Augustine. The Americas squad were sent in and found themselves in trouble by the 30-over mark at 110 for 8 before Alex Amsterdam’s 73 off 87 balls propped up his side to a total of 183 in 43.1 overs.Amsterdam received support from tailender Hammad Shahid with the pair putting on 66-run stand for the ninth wicket before Sulieman Benn claimed both men to wrap up the innings. The left-arm spinner was named Man of the Match for his 4 for 40.Barbados were in trouble at 125 for 6 in 32 overs after legspinner Timil Patel burrowed into the middle order with a pair of wickets. However, a composed effort from Jonathan Carter – an unbeaten 55 off 84 balls – helped Barbados across the line. Carter and Justin Greaves put on an unbroken 59-run seventh-wicket partnership to see Barbados to victory with 7.1 overs to spare.In Group B, Windward Islands kicked off their campaign with a narrow one-run win by D/L Method over Guyana in St Kitts. Devon Smith starred for Windwards with 91 at the top of the innings after being sent in. Smith put on 84 runs with Sunil Ambris for the fourth wicket in what turned out to be a vital partnership in Windwards’ total of 214.Gudakesh Motie took 3 for 32 while fellow spinner Steven Jacobs took 3 for 40 opening the bowling for Guyana. Assad Fudadin scored an unbeaten 44 in Guyana’s D/L adjusted target of 123 in 26 overs. Guyana finished on 122 for 4 with Raymon Reifer alongside Fudadin on 18 not out falling just short of the par score when play ended.Leeward Islands split points with Combined Campuses & Colleges in a match with no result after rain ended play at Warner Park with just 38 overs of the first innings. Nkrumah Bonner led the way with 65 off 69 balls for Leewards after electing to bat while Ryan Hinds took two wickets in the field for CCC before play was halted at 187 for 5.
