NORTH SOUND, Antigua – Fast bowler Akeem Jordan flattened Windward Islands Volcanoes with a devastating five-wicket haul today, to earn Barbados Pride their first win of the Super50 Cup and keep alive their slim chances of a semi-final spot.
After Justin Greaves (76) and Shamarh Brooks (61) compiled half-centuries to propel Pride to 286 for eight off their 50 overs at the Vivian Richards Cricket Stadium, right-armer Jordan (5-26) sliced through Volcanoes’ batting to send them crashing for 113 all out in the 35th over and to a heavy 173-run defeat.
Veteran opener Andre Fletcher top-scored with 34 and captain Sunil Ambris got 26 but they were the only two of the specialist batsmen to reach double figures as Volcanoes tumbled from 60 for one in the 14th over, to lose their last nine wickets for 53 runs.
