KINGSTOWN – Another week, another close win. This is becoming a habit for the Barbados Pride.
After last week’s one-session heroics against the Guyana Jaguars, the Pride held their nerve to pull off a nail-biting 11-run victory over Windward Islands Volcanoes and posted their second straight win away from home in the WICB’s Professional Cricket League yesterday.
Staring at defeat with the Windwards on 191 for seven in pursuit of only 207 for victory, Barbados grabbed three wickets in the space of eight balls to turn the game on its head at Arnos Vale, as the hosts were dismissed for 195.
It brought back immediate memories of a week ago, when the Pride snatched victory from the jaws of defeat against Guyana, even if not in the same spectacular fashion.
