BASSETERRE, St Kitts (CMC):

Justin Guillen's half-century proved the difference as Trinidad and Tobago won their second straight match of the Regional Super50 with a three-wicket win over Leeward Islands on Sunday.

The West Indies A left-hander top-scored with 72 to lead T&T to a tricky target of 239 at Warner Park, as the visitors kept up their solid start to the one-day season.

Opener Lendl Simmons slammed 48 at the top of the order, while Yannick Ottley's patient, unbeaten 47 saw T&T over the line.

Leg-spinner Anthony Martin was outstanding, finishing with three for 24 from his 10 overs.

Earlier, West Indies wicketkeeper/batsman Devon Thomas hammered 69 from 86 balls, while Tonito Willett weighed in with 51 not out off a mere 38 deliveries as Leeward Islands got up to 238 for seven off their 50 overs, after they were sent in.

Jahmar Hamilton's 49 from 68 balls also proved handy, while captain Sylvester Joseph chipped in with 21.

West Indies leg-spinner Samuel Badree claimed three for 23, while fast bowler Shannon Gabriel picked up two for 53.
