England Lions make short work of Windies A

With ball, bat and on the field, England Lions turned out to be significantly better than Windies An as they gave their hapless guests a third annihilation on the ricochet, this one by nine wickets, at the County Ground in Northampton. Pacer Reece Topley and left-arm spinner Liam Dawson grabbed four wickets each to bowl Windies A for 162, an objective that was chased down slow and steady by Tom Kohler-Cadmore's unbeaten 80. The objective, pursued down with 25 overs, thumped Windies An out of the race for the last, an amusement that will presently be challenged by India An and the Lions.

Windies were a stage behind in the challenge ideal from the hurl when Steven Mullaney welcomed the guests to bat first under favorable conditions for the pacers. Topley was the destructor-in-head, rejecting Chandrapaul Hemraj, Jermaine Blackwood and Andre McCarthy to depart Windies A reeling at 30 for 3. The guests' solitary time of obstruction arrived not long after the early zest had quelled fairly as Sunil Ambris and captain Devon Thomas started a revival work.

The twosome batted 17 overs and 67 keeps running before Lions chief Mulaney had Ambris gotten by Dawson. That rejection apparently worked like a going of the mallet as Dawson assumed control to injure whatever remains of the center request. Rakheem Cornwall was astounded in the following with the well-set Thomas sticking to this same pattern three overs later. His rejection for 45, with the group score on 113, was the demise ring the extent that the Windies opposition was worried about the last four wickets falling for 49 runs and just Dominic Drakes offering any obstruction.

There on, the Lions' triumph was nevertheless a matter of when instead of an if. Scratch Gubbins and Kohler-Cadmore included 43 lively keeps running before a run-out finished the previous' stay in the center. That remained Windies' solitary accomplishment on the field as Kohler-Cadmore and Sam Hain (48) assaulted and after that took the group past the end goal while on auto pilot mode.
