Red Force 260 all out (Seales 70*, Pierre 40; Paul 3-2
lead Harpy Eagles 245 all out (Paul 51, van Lange 46, Seales 4-55) by 15 runs
Trinidad and Tobago Red Force bowled valiantly on Day 2 to earn a 15-run first-innings advantage over the defending champions Guyana Harpy Eagles in the Cricket West Indies Championship final at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua and Barbuda on Monday.
The Harpy Eagles were dismissed for 245 on the stroke of stumps, responding to the Red Force’s first-innings total of 260 all out. Guyana's innings followed a similar pattern to that of T&T, with the lower-order stepping up after a fragile top-order performance.
Batting 90 minutes in an extended first session, the Harpy Eagles were restricted to 46 for two at the lunch interval, with Jayden Seales accounting for both Tagenarine Chanderpaul (33) and Matthew Nandu (0).
Terrance Hinds (3/46) then claimed the wickets of Kevlon Anderson (9) along with the scalps of Tevin Imlach and Kemol Savory, for identical scores of 17, to tip the game squarely in T&T’s favour with Guyana 93 for five.
