The Malteenoes pair of Shemroy Barrington, who scored an undefeated 103 before he was called in by the selectors and leg-spinner Steven Sankar, who captured 4-47 out of the seven wickets for the 212 runs made by Vishaul Singh’s X1 on day one, were the standouts. Opener Robin Bacchus was the only other batsman to past 25 with a responsible 54 in an opening stand of 162 with Barrington.
