Van Lange leads Guyana to victory in West Indies U17 tournaments

Windward Islands fell victim to Guyana‘s spectacular bowling attack, and suffered a 3-wicket defeat on Sunday during the West Indies Rising Stars Men’s Under-17 2-Day and 50-Overs Championship at the Gilbert Park in California, Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
Windwards Islands opted to field, and it proved beneficial, with the youngsters bowling out Guyana for 99 runs. Captain Jonathan Van Lange top-scored with 24 runs, and Adrian Hetmyer followed with 18 runs.
Edmund Morancie, with his ability to take the bails off the wicket, led the charge for Windward Islands by taking three wickets. He received support from Earsinho Fontaine and Jelani Joseph, who each took two wickets, while Joel Durand and Watson Seaton each added one wicket to their names.
Van Lange then showcased his dominance by taking a hat-trick of wickets for Guyana, and Golcharran Chulai contributed two wickets, while Devon Wharton and Emmanuel Lewis each took one, as Windwards’ batters did not perform to their potential.
Top-scorer Theo Edward hit 21 runs.
Guyana took the field against Leeward Islands on Monday at the National Cricket Centre in Couva, T&T, but that clash was rained out after Guyana was bowled out for 171 in 40.5 overs.
