West Indies Championships title hopes are alive and well in the Guyana Harpy Eagles (GHE) camp after an all-round dominating day against the Combined Campuses and Colleges in the seventh and final round of the aforementioned competition.
At the Sir Frank Worrell Memorial Ground, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago on Wednesday morning, the Combined Campuses and Colleges won the toss and opted to bat first. However, they found themselves routed for just 200 runs by a determined Harpy Eagles’ bowling attack.
Nial Smith led the charge for the Guyanese as he destabilized the Combined Campuses’ batting order with two early wickets. Alongside a clinical strike from Isai Thorne, the Harpy Eagles had the Combined Campuses reeling at 9-3. However, a 44-run partnership between Shamarh Brooks and Demario Richards brought back some stability to the Combined Campuses’ batting, but it was short- lived, as the experienced Brooks perished for 16 from 27 deliveries to Veerasammy Permaul, after a switch to the spin attack.
