Daniel Doram’s seven wickets derails Jamaica at Brian Lara Stadium
Leeward Islands won the toss and opted to bowl first. The Jamaica batters didn’t get going as they got starts but failed to convert them into big scores. Nkrumah Bonner and Odean Smith scored 24 and 26 respectively but a lack of contributions from the other batters resulted in them getting bundled out on 123 in 32.5 overs.
Daniel Doram of Leeward Islands was outstanding with the ball. He picked up seven wickets and broke the back of Jamaica’s batting lineup. He finished with figures of 7/29 in his 9.5 overs as it helped them knock over Jamaica on a paltry total.
Chasing a modest total, Kieran Powell led the charge at the top of the order. He smashed six boundaries and as many sixes to remain unbeaten on 80 off just 36 balls to take the Leeward Islands across the line in just 14 overs.
The Jamaican bowlers struggled and failed to keep a check on the scoring rate. Nicholson Gordon and Fabian Allen picked up a wicket each but it wasn’t enough as they failed to defend the total. With this eight-wicket win, the Leeward Islands got off to a winning start to the Super50 Cup 2023.
