Anguilla faces other pros for 20/20 practice in St. Lucia

Anguilla will join the remaining three fulltime Stanford 20/20 professional teams (Antigua & Barbuda, Nevis and St. Lucia ) in St. Lucia this weekend for a practice round-robin series at the Beausejour Cricket Ground, ahead of the second Stanford 20/20 regional competition slated to begin on January 26.

Anguilla plays its first game of the  Stanford 20/20 competition on February 3 against Grenada and should they be victorious will most likely face Barbados on February 15.

They split their two encounters, surrendering nine runs in the final over of their first game to lose to the British Virgin Islands and then garnering 15 runs in the final over of their next game to defeat St. Maarten.

The Scores:

Game 1: Anguilla: 147 from seven from 20 overs;  The BVI 148 for seven from in the 20th over.

Game 2: St. Maarten 125 for four from 15 overs;  Anguilla 126, for two in the 15th over.
