Middlesex tallied 172 all out in 31 overs; Tegana Mc Kenzie scored 40 and Mark Audain – 31.

Eagles’ response landed them down at 101 all out, as there were two wickets apiece for Sherwin Bazil, Dominic Audain, Mark Audain and Kavir Singh, at the cost of 19, 23, 26 and 32 runs respectively.

Meanwhile Cavaliers’ match versus Janoon ended prematurely, as in, the third over of the match, a bouncer from former St Vincent and the Grenadines and Windwards fast bowler Casper Davis caught wicketkeeper Alston Michael in the forehead.

Michael had to seek medical attention, thus ending the match and the points shared.

On Sunday, Stars and Pak Brighton play at Marine Park A, while Middlesex and Yankee oppose each other at Marine Park C.(RT)
