Devon Smith plundered his second successive century as West Indies ‘A’ crushed India ‘A’ by 166 runs, in the opening match of the Tri-Nation Limited Overs series at the County Ground in England today.
The left-hander carved out a brilliant 104 from 98 balls to fire the Caribbean side to 329 for six off their 50 overs after being sent in.
Andre Fletcher 88 and Kevin Stoute 52 registered half centuries, while Andre Russell chipped in with 42.
Leg-spinner Anthony Martin then snatched three for 47 and seamer Lionel Baker, two for 32, to send the Indians packing for 163 all out from 33.2 overs.
Jaskaran Singh top scored for India A with 51.
The victory was the third on the trot for the resurgent West Indies ‘A’ who started the series slowly but have now found their stride, following a clean sweep of the two-match one-day series against Ireland in Belfast last week.
