Jahson Vidal shines at the regional Under-15 cricket championship
Dominica’s Jahson Vidal shines at the regional Under-15 cricket championship. The games held at the Park Hill Playing Field and the Cumberland Playing Fields where the national team showed St. Vincent and the Grenadines the way home. The 2019 WINLOTT/WICBC Under-15 Cricket Championship ended in favour in Dominica over their regional rivals at the games.
Vidal wrecked the St. Vincent and the Grenadines batting at Park Hill Playing Field, claiming 8 for 07 in an unbelievable spell of bowling, which lasted 9.4 overs with 5 maidens bowled.
Having won the toss, Dominica sent the Vincentians in and was soon amongst the wickets, which fell at 1 – 11, 2 – 11, 3 – 37, 4 – 40, 5 – 44, 6 – 54, 7 – 67, 8 – 68, 9 – 78, 10 – 79.
The other wicket-taker was Darin Toussaint with 2 for 16, as the Vincentian batters struggled. Kodi Grant with 25, and Sam Burke 13, were the only batsmen to reach double figures, and extras contributed 22.
In the response, Kishawn Viville top-scored with 27, Jahson Vidal made 13 as Dominica reached 81 for 4, while extras tallied 29. The Dominica wickets fell 01, 04, 25, and 42; as Dominica won by six wickets.
Over at the Cumberland Playing Field, Grenada handed the defending champions a massive 127-run defeat. Having won the toss, Saint Lucia inserted Grenada, and was soon celebrating when the first wicket fell without a run on the board; that of Rion Mitchell.
