Watch: Rahkeem Cornwall took a brilliant catch off his own bowling at Basseterre in the West Indies Championship.
Trinidad and Tobago were called to bat at Warner Park and got down to 51-5 before being bowled out for 137 by Jeremiah Lewis (3-38) and Colin Archibald.
Leeward Islands captain Rahkeem Cornwall finished with 2 wins and 5 losses in 3 overs. His first wicket, Tion Webster, was his 400th wicket of his first-class career.
Kieran Powell (65 wins) and Jewel Andrew (87 wins) led the Leeward Islands to 318 wins, Anderson Phillip finished with 4 wins and 62 losses, and Brian Charles finished with 3 wins and 81 losses. Cornwall had eight hits and scored two runs.
Trinidad and Tobago, with a 191-run difference, started their innings on the second day and continued until the morning of the fourth day. Ten of the batters reached double digits, but only Jido Gooley (64) reached over 50, while Jason Mohammed reached 49.
When Cornwall went into Cephas Cooper’s opener, they were 68-1. Cornwall threw the ball up and Cooper came out and smashed the ball low and flat into the ground to Cornwall’s right.
Cornwall quickly came down and made an incredible catch using only his right hand just inches from the ground. He landed in front of Ghouly. He then caught Mohammed in the lead-up and bowled Gooley and he finished with 3 for 68, with Daniel Dorham taking his 3 for 80.
Leeward Islands chased a target of 162 and won by four wickets. Cornwall kept his two match unbeaten run.
