LUCAS STREET, Barbados (CMC) – Teenaged opener Amir Jangoo stroked his second successive half-century as Campuses and Colleges Marooners defeated ICC Americas by seven wickets to post their second win of the Regional Super50 here yesterday.Chasing a paltry 182 for victory at Windward Cricket Club, Marooners cruised to their target in the 46th over, with the 19-year-old Jangoo hitting a top score of 52.
Kyle Corbin carried his side over the line with a fluent, unbeaten 47 while Cassius Burton struck 38 and captain Jamal Smith, 36.
Fast bowler Keon Harding had earlier produced a superb 10-over spell of two for 27 to help restrict ICC Americas to 181 for nine off their 50 overs.
His Man-of-the-Match effort was supported by seamer Jermaine Levy (2-43) and off-spinner Vikash Mohan (2-45) who finished with two wickets piece.
Timroy Allen, batting at number eight, top-scored with 43 while Hakeem Dodson supported with 28 and Nikhil Dutta and Kamau Leverock, 26 apiece.
Sent in, ICC Americas slumped to 53 for five in the 17th over before staging a lower order rally. Dutta and Dodson added 36 for the sixth wicket before Allen posted 28 for the seventh wicket with Dodson and a further 60 in a critical eighth-wicket stand with Saad bin Zafar (25).
The right-handed Allen stroked four fours and a six in a breezy 50-ball knock.
In reply, left-hander Jangoo took the attack to ICC Americas in an 87-ball innings which was laced with six fours and a six.
Jangoo put on 81 for the first wicket with Smith whose knock came from 75 balls and included two fours and a six.
When three wickets tumbled for just 30 runs in the space of 42 deliveries, Corbin and Burton combined in an unbroken fourth-wicket stand of 73, to steer Marooners to victory.
The right-handed Corbin faced 59 balls and counted five fours and a six while Burton, also a right-hander, was equally fluent in hammering three fours and a six in a 43-ball knock.
