Canada struggled to put up a competitive total against a strong Trinidad and Tobago side in the fourth and final match in the Caribbean T20 competition, and lost by 8 wickets.
Jimmy Hansra has had great success in one area on this tour as Canada won the toss for the fourth time, and again chose to bat. Gunasekera got off the mark with a six in the first over, and followed with another in the second as Canada raced to 29/0 from the first two overs. The pattern of a Canadian innings is becoming depressingly familiar as a promising start led into slowing of the run rate, then a clatter of wickets. Gunsekera was caught for 23 (19), Patel was run out for 32, Surkari, Raza-ur-Rehman, Kumar and Hansra contributed a combined 11 runs, and 43/0 quickly became 76/6. Cheema contributed 6, continuing his poor tour with the bat, and it fell to the last pair to bat out the overs – 99/9 off 20 overs is well below par, and T+T will be confident of a big win.
Henry Osinde made an early breakthrough, having Simmons caught by Kumar in the third over- he bowled his four overs for just 15 runs. Barath was dismissed in unusual fashion, adjudged out for obstructing the field but Trinidad and Tobago made steady progress towards victory until rain stopped play with the score 63/2 from 11.4 overs. This was a temporary respite, and they had little trouble reaching a reduced total.
