KINGSTOWN – Barbados Pride were left desperately needing wickets on today’s final day after Kavem Hodge’s eighth first-class half-century put Windward Islands Volcanoes in sight of victory on the third day of their eighth round match on Saturday at the Arnos Vale Sports Complex.

Set 270 for victory, the hosts closed on 181 for three with the enterprising Hodge unbeaten on 65 and Roland Cato on 26 not out.

The pair have so far posted a precious 42 in an unbroken fourth wicket stand, which frustrated the visitors and also put their side within 89 runs of victory.

Test batsman Sunil Ambris had earlier made a breezy 40, while veteran opener Devon Smith got 28. (CMC)
