Gritty Scorpions survive final-day scare against rampant Pride

Hosts Jamaica Scorpions clung on for dear life in a nerve-racking final session against the Barbados Pride at Sabina Park yesterday, battling to 90 for four after being set a theoretical 40-plus overs to survive. After the Pride declared on a mountainous 626 for eight, the Scorpions, facing a deficit of 169 runs, slumped to 28 for three and looked in danger of losing what always looked like a tame draw between the sides.
