West Indies Championship: Rainy start to 5th round for Harpy Eagles, Volcanoes
It was an unproductive start to the fifth round of the West Indies Championships for the Guyana Harpy Eagles (GHE) and Windward Islands Volcanoes after rain played spoilsport on day one of their clash at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence, East Bank Demerara (EBD).
Ronaldo Alimohamed claimed the other wicket on day one
Windward Islands Volcanoes won the toss and opted to bat first, losing an early wicket before dark clouds began to form over the Providence venue.
Kevin Sinclair struck early, castling Stephan Pascal for a duck with the very first ball of his spell.
The first rain delay was a short one, at the beginning of the seventh over and by the end of that over, the heavens opened again for a delay that would take them past lunch.
The covers were on for most of the day at the Guyana National Stadium
When the teams did return to the pitch, Kavem Hodge got to 17 off 41 balls before being caught behind by Tevin Imlach off Ronaldo Alimohamed’s bowling.
Another rain interruption brought a premature end to the day’s play with the Volcanoes 77-2 off 27 overs.
Jeremy Solozano is thus far unbeaten on 43 from 89 balls while Alick Athanaze has nine runs after facing 32 deliveries.
Sinclair has returns of 1-28 from 12 overs while Alimohamed has 1-15 from 5.
Play is expected to resume at 10:00h today for day two’s action.
