Titans Won By 30 Runs
Titans 144/4 Voyagers 114/3
Kamau Leverock and his Voyagers teammates endured another frustrating outing in the Barbados T10 cricket tournament, falling to their fourth consecutive defeat despite a valiant effort against the Titans at Windward Park in Bridgetown.
Both teams entered the match seeking their first victory of the tournament, with the Voyagers languishing in sixth place and the Titans just above them in fifth. After winning the toss, the Voyagers opted to field first, hoping to restrict the Titans' batting lineup.
However, the Titans batsmen had other ideas. Shian Brathwaite led the charge with a blistering knock of 48 off just 24 balls, smashing 6 fours and 3 sixes before being trapped LBW by Leverock. The Titans posted an imposing total of 144/4 from their 10 overs, leaving the Voyagers with a daunting chase. Giovonte Depeiza was the pick of the Voyagers bowlers with figures of 1-12 from his single over, while Leverock claimed 1-29 from his two overs.
In reply, the Voyagers made a valiant effort to chase down the target, but ultimately fell short, finishing on 114/3. Shamarh Brooks played a captain's innings, smashing an unbeaten 62 off just 24 balls, including 4 fours and 5 sixes. Leverock provided late fireworks with a quickfire 19 not out off 10 balls, featuring 1 six and 2 fours. The pair shared a crucial 28-run partnership for the fourth wicket, but it wasn't enough to secure victory. Kemar Harte was the most economical bowler for the Titans, taking 1-10 from his two overs.
Despite the loss, Leverock's contribution with both bat and ball provided some positives for the Voyagers. His wicket-taking spell and aggressive batting demonstrated his all-round abilities. However, the team will need to find more consistency with the bat if they are to turn their fortunes around in the tournament.
This victory marks the Titans' first win of the competition, lifting them off the bottom of the table. For the Voyagers, the search for their first win continues, and they will be hoping to break their duck in their remaining fixtures.
