Harpy Eagles flip the script on Volcanoes
2023 West Indies Championship…
– Pride wraps up Scorpions inside three days
Kaieteur News – Guyana Harpy Eagles produced a better bowling performance in the second innings against Windward Islands Volcanoes on the penultimate day of their second round 2023 West Indies Championship match, yesterday, at Grenada’s National Cricket Stadium in St. George’s.
Shamar Joseph claimed his maiden five-wicket haul in his second First Class match.
After being dismissed for 169 in the first innings, Guyana did well to return the favour and restrict Windward Islands to 168 in their second innings, despite trailing by 125 runs at the start of the last innings.
Harpy Eagles now need to produced 294 runs for victory; the exact score posted by Volcanoes in their first innings. They began their reply at the start of the final session yesterday and got to 35 – 0 from 14.3 overs, then the rain interrupted and forced play into stumps with just under an hour left in the day.
They start today with Matthew Nandu (18) and Tevin Imlach (13) out in the middle since Chanderpaul Hemraj retired not out on 3, after being struck on the helmet in the final session yesterday.
Yesterday morning, Kaveem Hodge and Sunil Ambris resumed from their overnight scores of 13 and 18, respectively, with Volcanoes poised at 48 – 2, but the former immediately lost his wicket without adding to his score as his side slipped to 49 – 3.
Ambris (26) only added eight runs before he met his demise while Justin Greaves (27) and Tevyn Walcott (23) got starts but were dismissed in mid-stride. Ryan John (1) and the injured Kimani Melius (6) hadn’t much impact in the middle but Preston McSween (25) and Kenneth Dember (15) resisted for a while before the innings came to an end, which prompted the tea break.
Shamar Joseph, playing in his second first class match, achieved his maiden 5-wicket haul at this level as he led the attack with 5 – 41. He was supported by Ronsford Beaton (3-35), Nial Smith (1-24) and Veerasammy Permaul (1-51).
The final day is scheduled to bowl off from 9:30 hrs ECT.
