The Bahamas Cricket Association (BCA) TwentyTwenty (T20) league action continued on Sunday with the Rising Stars turning back St. Albans with a 98-run victory at Haynes Oval to stay perfect on the season as the league broke for the Christmas holidays.
The Rising Stars now sport a 4-0 win/loss record on the season, and their runs have come easy for them. They finished the innings with 207 runs for the fall of five wickets in 15 overs. St Albans mustered up 109 runs for the fall of eight wickets with no balls to spare.
Leading the way for the Rising Stars was their captain, Jagnauth Jagroo, who was past the half-century mark with 78 runs before he was caught on the boundary on a delivery from Randy Sanjee. On the bowling side, the Rising Stars were led by Keith Burrows and Rudolph Fox who both had two wickets. All six bowlers walked away with at least one wicket.
Ricardo Patten and Jagnauth Jagroo were able to get a partnership of 56 runs. Patten was out for 10 runs when he was caught on a delivery from Devante Kemp as the Rising Stars were two runs shy from a century in the eighth over. Jagnauth Jagroo and his brother Bhumeshwar Jagroo put on a strong partnership that included several boundaries. Their partnership of 65 runs came at a time when they needed it. It ended when Sanjee claimed Jagnauth Jagroo who was going for a big shot.
Bhumeshwar Jagroo and Rudy Fox ended their innings on a strong note when their partnership ended on the final ball of the over as Fox was stumped. Fox finished with 33 runs while Bhumeshwar Jagroo finished with 34 runs. They partnered for 44 runs in the final three overs.
St. Albans opened with the duo of Jevette Collymore and Sanjee but their partnership ended before producing a single run. Sanjee was run-out without getting off the mark. Collymore and Coakley steadied the ship for St. Albans for 73 runs before Patten bowled out Coakley for 22 runs in the 10th over. St. Albans needed to pick up their run rate as the 208-run target looked out of reach with five overs remaining. Kepry Kemp came in to partner with Collymore but that partnership was short-lived when Carvelle Ornes bowled out Collymore for 15 runs. St. Albans had 84 runs for the fall of three wickets at that point. The next four wickets fell quickly with them on 105 for seven wickets. They scored four more runs before Ricardo Malcolm was stumped for zero runs as the curtain came down on their innings when there were no more balls to spare.
