Teenager Sherfane Rutherford smashed a sensational hundred to hand West Indies b’ a dramatic last-ball win, as they chased down an imposing 216 to beat Chris Gayle’s Vancouver knights by six wickets in the first global T20 Canada League yesterday.

With the Caribbean side needing a single from the last ball of the game wicketkeeper-batsman Anthony bramble blasted left-arm spinner Saad Bin Zafar over long on for the second six of the over, to complete a remarkable run chase and put his side in the final.

Rutherford, the brilliant architect of the victory, finished on 134 from just 66 balls to earn man-of-the-match honours, while Nicholas Pooran chipped in with 44 and bramble, scored a cameo 23 not out.

Earlier Gayle hit an even 50 from 44 balls while fellow Jamaican and West Indies star, Chadwick Walton, gathered a top score of 54, as knights piled up 215 for six off their 20 overs at the maple leaf north-west ground.

Another Jamaican in Andre Russell produced a trademark cameo, striking 29 not out off 16 balls.

In the other match played, seamer Rayad Emrit took four for 28 and fellow Trinidad and Tobago and West Indies player Lendl Simmons scored 33, to help Winnipeg hawks beat Edmonton royals by seven wickets.
