CRICKET-SUPER50-LEAD Dowrich guides Marooners to last-ball win - 9th match.

ST AUGUSTINE -- An impressive maiden List A hundred from their captain Shane Dowrich steered Combined Campuses and Colleges Marooners to a thrilling two-wicket win against Windward Islands Volcanoes off the last ball in the West Indies Super50 Cup on Sunday in Trinidad.

The discarded West Indies wicketkeeper-batsman struck only three fours and three sixes in an undefeated 102 off 101 balls, and the Marooners successfully chased 268 at Frank Worrell Field to clinch their first win of this year's tournament.

Dowrich, who has played 35 Tests, but only a single One-day International for West Indies, anchored three vital half-centuries that kept the Marooners in the hunt for the win after he arrived with his side on 66 for two in the 16th over.

He put on 74 with fellow Barbadian, opener Kadeem Alleyne for the third wicket, shared 63 for the fifth wicket with Jordan Johnson, and swung the match decisively in an eighth wicket stand of 57 with another Barbadian, Romario Greaves.

Alleyne hit four fours and three sixes in 68 off 75 balls, Johnson added a run-a-ball 34, and Greaves made 14 before he was run out off the penultimate ball of the match with the Marooners needing only four to win.

Jediah Blades formalised the result when he glanced a delivery from imported Barbadian all-rounder Shamar Springer to the fine leg boundary for four to condemn the Volcanoes to their third consecutive loss.

Pacer Darel Cyrus was the pick of the Volcanoes bowlers with four for 54 from 10 overs, triggering a Marooners middle-order collapse, and left-arm spinner Larry Edward supported with two for 65 from 10 overs.

The Marooners got a bright start when Alleyne and fellow opener Johann Jeremiah carried them to 51 without loss at the end of the first Power Play.

Jeremiah was caught at deep square leg off Springer for 30 in the 11th over, and Cyrus bowled Shaqkere Parris for nine in the 16th over to bring Dowrich to the crease.

The 31-year-old anchored the Marooners batting the rest of the way, defying the destructive spell from Cyrus, and the middle-order collapse in which his side lost Alleyne, Akshaya...
