West Indies Championships 2025: GHE roar back with tons from Anderson, Imlach

Another Kevlon Anderson century, together with a half-century from skipper Tevin Imlach, put the Guyana Harpy Eagles in the driver’s seat on Friday afternoon as their West Indies Championships’ contest with the Leeward Islands Hurricanes continued.

The Harpy Eagles, defending champions in the tournament, resumed Day 3 at Warner Park in St Kitts on 137-1, a mere 5 runs away from eliminating the first innings’ advantage enjoyed by the hosts; and
Matthew Nandu converted his 53 runs to 66 runs off 167 balls before unfortunately being run out.

However, Kevlon Anderson, again showing class, improved his first innings’ unbeaten 77 by hitting his fifth first -class century in 243 balls. This is his third century this season, and it included 10 boundaries.
At the other end, Captain Tevin Imlach, eyeing the greater milestone, churned out another half-century as he registered an unbeaten 82 off 151 balls at the tea Interval.
After the break, Anderson unfortunately lost his wicket as he attempted a big shot, but Imlach kept spearheading Guyana’s charge by bringing up his 3rd century of the season. A quick single in the 134th over enabled the GHE captain to reach the milestone in 206 balls.

Close of play came soon after, with Imlach being unbeaten on 103 and Kevin Sinclair being unbeaten on 31 runs off 84 balls.
Day 3 had seen the Hurricanes bowlers registering another backbreaking effort for the meagre returns of 3 wickets. With the dismissal of Nandu via the runout route, Hayden Walsh claimed 1-84 from 28 overs; while Rahkeem Cornwall took 1-94 from 43 overs and Javier Spencer took 1-49 from 17 overs.
At close of play, the Harpy Eagles were 381-4, commanding a solid 239-run lead with 6 wickets still in hand. Day 4 action – final day of the match – will resume at 10:00h today.
