Cricket: England Ahead On Day 4 Of Apex First Test, Strikers Win Inaugural Dream 11 T10 Blast

The fourth day of the first Apex Test between the West Indies and England at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua swung in favour of the visiting team. Finishing Day 3 at 373 for 9, the Windies only managed a further two runs before being dismissed early on Day 4 with a lead of 64 runs. That lead was soon neutralised on the brink of the luncheon interval by the Englishmen. They went on to dominate play through the day scoring profusely off the Windies bowlers, who struggled with their line for the duration of the afternoon. Zak Crawley brought up his century after the tea break as the Windies bowlers toiled. At stumps on Day 4 the visitors ended on 217 for 1 with an overall lead of 153 runs heading into the final day. And after two weeks of action, the Dream 11 T10 blast came to an exciting conclusion between the final two teams – Soca Kings and the Steelpan Strikers. The Kings won the toss and elected to bat first and they amassed a challenging 117 for 5 of their 10 overs. They were led by 45 of 21 from all rounder Jesse Bootan smashing 2 fours and 4 sixes. Jason Mohammed supported with 36. In response, the Strikers got to their target of 118 with relative ease utilising only 8 overs while losing three wickets. Anthony Alexander top scored with 38 and was supported with 28 from Evin Lewis. Congrats to the Steelpan Strikers – winners of the inaugural Dream 11 T10 Blast which was played in its entirety at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba.
