TAROUBA, Trinidad, (CMC )– The Trinidad & Tobago Legions produced a clinical performance to defeat the Jamaica Titans by six wickets in the seventh match of the West Indies Breakout League at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy here on Wednesday.
Sent in to bat, the Jamaica Titans faced early setbacks and never fully recovered, managing only 127 for 8 in their 20 overs.
Openers Zion Brathwaite 37 from 30 balls and Leroy Lugg 30 from 25, provided some resistance, but the middle order collapsed dramatically, losing three wickets for just six runs in a disastrous passage of play.
The Titans slipped from 55 for 3 to 61 for 6, with McKenny Clarke bagging 2-14, Navin Bidaisee 2-19, and Johann Layne 2-27 leading a disciplined bowling attack for the Legions. Reon Edwards 15 not out, offered late resistance, but the total proved insufficient in the end.
In reply, the Legions lost early wickets but were steadied by a composed 45 from Kamil Pooran, who anchored the innings. Wicketkeeper-batsman Joshua Da Silva, 31, contributed a valuable knock before Navin Bidaisee, 29, not out, sealed the victory with nine balls to spare.
The Titans’ bowlers struggled for breakthroughs, with only Andrew Rambaran 2-23 making an impact. However, the target was never challenging enough, and the Legions cruised to 130 for 4 in 18.3 overs to continue their unbeaten run in the tournament.
