Omari Banks top scores in Leewards losing Cause against Jamaica.

October 19, 2008: Jamaica and the Leeward Islands met in Providence, Guyana at the national stadium for their opener in the KFC Cup on Wednesday. The Leewards captained by Nevisian Runako Morton featured Anguilla's Chaka Hodge and Omari Banks in the playing 11. Morton won the toss and elected to bat, but his eagerness to take advantage of the pitch proved futile as the team fell 5.3 overs shy of the 50 allotted, being bowled out for 167. In reply Jamaica, captained by West Indies opener Christopher Gayle eased to 169-4 in 39.5 overs.

Despite the loss, Anguilla's Omari Banks put in a solid performance and was awarded Man Of The Match. He top scored with 62 from 107 balls and claimed two for 46.
