The visiting Lashings team, behind a brilliant unbeaten knock of 81 by 'Man of the Match' Chris Adams and a classy unbeaten 41 by Rashid Latif, registered an exciting six-wicket win over the Jamaica Invitational team in their game at the Trelawny Multi-Purpose Stadium yesterday.

Invited to bat by the Lashings skipper, former West Indies captain Ritchie Richardson, who won the toss, Jamaica were dismissed for 194 off 39.3 overs as only skipper Tamar Lambert, who top-scored with 79, and Donovan Pagon, who got 28, capitalised on the starts they got. In reply, Lashings started out slowly but stepped up the pace as the game progressed and sealed their victory when Adams struck the second ball of the last over from David Bernard Jr. for six, giving them victory at 198 for four with four balls to spare.

"It was an exciting game and I am sure the fans enjoyed it although Jamaica loss," said victorious skipper Richardson. "I thought both teams played reasonably well today."

Scores: Jamaica 194 (Lambert 79, Pagon 28; Courtney Walsh two for eight, Chris Silverwood two for 41, Mark Ealham two for 22.) Lashings 198 for four (Chris Adams 81, Rashid Latif 41.)
