Left-arm spinner Aryan Persaud has claimed seven wickets for a miserly six runs as Guyana defeated Windward Islands by 189 runs in round two of the Regional U19 tournament being played in St Vincent and the Grenadines.
Guyana resumed the third and final day on 229-6, and Zeynul Ramsammy scored his second successive half-century, contributing an unbeaten 59 as Guyana declared on 265-9 in 97 overs.
Windwards required 249 runs to win, but Aryan Persaud had other plans for an early finish. He extracted turn and bounce to claim 7-6 in 10.5 overs. Windwards were bowled out for 59 in their second innings, after posting 86 all out in their first innings.
Guyana had posted 69 all out in their first innings, but half-centuries from Shamar Yearwood, Mavendra Dindyal and Zeynul Ramsammy ensured Guyana revive their batting efforts on tour.
Guyana will be in action again on Tuesday July 25 against Leeward Islands.
