Kaieteur Sports – West Indies Academy batsmen Kirk Mckenzie and Kevlon Anderson headline the batting charts following two matches in the Headley/Weekes Tri-Series played at the Coolidge Cricket Ground, Antigua.

Team Headley skipper Joshua DaSilva (139 runs, 1 game) comes in at the 3rd spot while WI-A’s Kevin Wickham, who scored 121 alongside Mckenzie’s double ton to help their team pull off a draw, finishes in 4th spot with an aggregate of 126 runs from a pair of games.
Kevlon Anderson
Number 5 spot and the only other batsman to cross the 100-run mark following the two opening games, is occupied by Zachary McCaskie (124 runs, 1 game), making the race for tournament’s leading run-scorer more intriguing.
Their 435 in the previous game was also the highest team total of the Tri-Series, further buffing their stats as arguably the top team thus far.

Layne’s match best figures of 5-81 is also the tournament’s best bowling figures following the pair of games played.
With a game left, a match between Team Headley and Team Weekes, WIA is the team to beat, while their individual stats will also be challenged come Wednesday when the final match bowls off.
