Bravo ton downs SA A

Cricket Sports Reporter
Darren Bravo's brilliant unbeaten century powered West Indies A to an 81 -run victory over South Africa A in the ATN Records tri-nation series at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur yesterday.
The classy left-hander struck 107 as West Indies A made 295-8 from 50 overs after deciding to bat first on winning the toss. And the total proved too much for the Africans, who were bowled out for 214 in 44.3 overs. The victory set up a final between the same sides after the hosts, who take on West Indies A today, were knocked out after three consecutive losses.
Back to the day's match and it was Bravo's effort along with that of Brendan Nash's that took West Indies A to a position of strength. Bravo struck 10 boundaries and a six in his 119-ball knock and shared a 133-run fourth wicket stand with Nash, who made a run-a-ball 71 that had four boundaries and a six.
The innings got further impetus from Kirk Edwards who struck a 31-ball 50 that had six boundaries and the customary six. The righthander shared a fifth-wicket partnership of 86 runs with Bravo who reached his century off 113 balls.
It was always a daunting task for the South Africans who fielded for 50 overs under intense heat and humidity and it showed. The openers made a rapid start, reaching 50 in the seventh over but Lionel Baker struck and soon they were 60 for four, with Baker and Gavin Tonge sharing the four wickets.
Ryan Bailey and David Miller added 50 for the fifth wicket but couldn't carry on. Dean Elgar and skipper Thami Tsolekile also batted

well and added 74 for the seventh wicket. But their efforts were a bit slow and the run-rate kept climbing, and when Tsolekile fell after making 42 off 59 balls in the 39th over, the South Africans still needed 99 off eleven overs.
Paceman Baker came back for a final spell and picked up two more wickets to wrap up the innings.
Apart from his four, Tonge picked up 3-47 while off-spinner Shane Shillingford took two wickets. Leg-spinner Imran Khan took a wicket for 54runsfromhis lOovers.
