The part-time off-spin of Chris Douglas was too much for the Cayman Islands as Bermuda made a winning start to the defence of their ICC Americas Championship title in Florida yesterday.

Bermuda scored a solid 220-7 in the opening match of the ICC Americas Division I tournament while Caymans scored 147 for nine in response.

David Hemp led Bermuda scorers with 51 not out from 59 balls while Douglas pitched in with 39. In the field, Douglas took four wickets.
