BASSETERRE, St Kitts – Stunningunbeaten half-centuries from left-handers Amir Jangoo and Raymon Reifer propelled Jamaica Tallawahs to a tournament-high total,
laying the platform for a dominant 41-run victory over the Barbados Royals in the Men’s Sixty today.

Asked to bat first, Tallawahs rattled up 162 for three off their ten overs with Jangoo slamming 68 not out off 27 deliveries and Reifer, 57 not out from just 19 deliveries.

Man-of-the-Match Reifer then returned with his left-arm seam to inflict more pain on his former franchise, claiming three for 16 as Royals made a fist of it before crumbling for 121 with a delivery left to spare at Warner Park.

Harry Tector struck 35 from 18 balls, Corbin Bosch 33 from 18 deliveries and Rahkeem Cornwall, an eight-ball 25 at the top of the order but fast bowler Nicholson Gordon (2-18) combined with Reifer to hurt the innings.

The headlines all belonged to Jangoo and Reifer, however. With Tallawahs on 63 for three in the fifth over, the duo combined in a brutal assault for the fourth wicket which yielded 102 runs from a mere 31 deliveries.

Opener Jangoo belted four fours and half-dozen sixes while Reifer, arriving at number five, plundered eight fours and three sixes.

In reply, Cornwall lashed four sixes in a cameo before perishing in the second over and when Justin Greaves followed in the fourth over for nine, Royals were only 53 for two.

Bosch and Tector then came together in a 47-run, fourth wicket stand to revive the run chase before becoming two of four wickets to fall for 20 runs in the space of 17 balls, as the chase fell apart spectacularly.

Meanwhile, in further action, new ball fast bowling pair Ravi Rampaul and Jayden Seales produced key bursts to set up Trinbago Knight Riders’ 47-run win over Guyana Amazon Warriors in the competition’s fifth match.

With TKR defending 95 at Warner Park, the 37-year-old Rampaul (2-6) and the 20-year-old Seales (2-10) snatched two wickets apiece to send Amazon Warriors tumbling to 48 all out at the start of the ninth over.

Heinrich Klaasen, a 31-year-old South African right-hander, struck 25 from 19 balls with three fours but no other batsman reached double figures.

Earlier, opener Tion Webster top-scored with 27 from 22 balls while fellow Trinidadian Terrance Hinds chipped in with a nine-ball 23 as TKR rallied to 95 for four from their ten overs.

Webster belted four fours in a 46-run opening stand with New Zealand’s Tim Seifert (16) before Hinds put on 38 for the fourth wicket with all-rounder Andre Russell who finished on 14 not out with a four and a six.

Fast bowler Odean Smith claimed two for 11, both wickets those of openers Webster and Seifer in the sixth over.

In an early encounter today, Sherfane Rutherford’s blitz fired St Kitts and Nevis Patriots to their first win of the exciting tournament.

With the hosts chasing 67 at Warner Park, Rutherford arrived at number five to blast four sixes in a five-ball unbeaten 24 to put his side over the line against St Lucia Kings, with 24 deliveries to spare.

Captain Evin Lewis had earlier struck 22 from 15 balls, inspiring a 37-run, second wicket stand with veteran Chris Gayle who managed only nine from 11 balls.

Left-arm spinner Jeavor Royal suffered but finished with two for 36 from his two overs.

Sent in, Kings were dismissed cheaply for 66 in the penultimate over, opener Johnson Charles top-scoring with 28 from 14 deliveries, including two fours and three sixes.

He put on 33 for the first wicket Leroy Lugg (5) before left-arm spinner Jaden Carmichael (2-16) and off-spinner Jon-Russ Jaggesar (2-28) pulled things back.
