Inaugural Breakout T20 League: Guyana Rainforest Rangers suffer another defeat

The Guyana Rainforest Rangers have suffered another defeat in the inaugural West Indies Breakout T20 League.
In a match played against the Trinidad & Tobago Legions on Saturday night at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba, Guyana Rainforest Rangers won the toss and elected to field first.

Trinidad and Tobago Legions
posted 173 for 6 in their 20 overs, with Captain Joshua Da Silva’s score of 68 runs from 36 balls comprising 3 fours and 6 sixes, and Jyd Goolie providing excellent support with 49 from 30 balls (4×4, 6×3). Ashmead Nedd and Jediah Blades were both economical in taking two wickets, while the other bowlers bled runs at alarming rates.
When the Guyana Rainforest Rangers batted, openers Kevlon Anderson (27 off 20) and Rivaldo Clarke (23) gave them a strong start, but the innings lacked momentum, although a gutsy 33 from 28 deliveries came from Kemol Savory.
The score at conclusion of the Rangers’ 20 overs stood at 150 for 9, thanks to the Legions’ all-around bowling performance, in which Johann Layne and Mikkel Govia each took two wickets, while Joshua James had figures of 3 for 35. The Rangers were thus defeated by 23 runs.

Anderson Mahase had figures of 3 for 16 in 4 overs.
Kofi James with 39 and Captain Karima Gore led the Thunder to the win, reaching 127 for 4 in 16.4 overs.
