Guyana Jaguars strengthen lead on PCL table

After rebounding from back-to-back defeats to beat Jamaica Scorpions by seven wickets last weekend, defending champions Guyana Jaguars have strengthened their position at the top of Cricket West Indies’ Professional Cricket League (PCL) Regional Four-day points table.

The win, secured on Sunday at Providence, has placed Jaguars firmly ahead of the other teams, surging to 112.4 points, with three rounds to go. It was the Jaguars fifth victory of the season, and it was orchestrated by twin fifties from skipper Leon Johnson, whose performance had come under scrutiny prior to this round.
