Young gets his half-century, but rain has final say

A maiden List A half-century from West Indies Academy skipper Nyeem Young came to an end owing to rain and so did the contest against Barbados Pride on Monday in the CG United Regional Super50.
At the Sir Frank Worrell Memorial Ground, only 38.1 overs were possible and with Academy asked to bat, they were 141 for six when the rains came.
Pride seamers Jair McAllister and Dominic Drakes ripped through the Academy’s top order for a series of single-figure scores. Kimani Melius was the first to fall, driving straight to cover off of Drakes for nine in the sixth over while in his following over, he removed Leonardo Julien who was caught behind fishing outside the off-stump.

Matthew Nandu did not spend too much time at the crease and departed attempting to pull only to find the square leg fielder as WI Academy slipped to 22-3. McAllister struck once again and took the prized wicket of in-form Teddy Bishop, who was caught at cover.
Roshan Primus then removed Ackeem Auguste for three to see WI Academy go into the drinks break on 31 for five. But that brought Young to the crease, who joined Kevin Wickham to salvage the innings with a 93-run partnership.
Young’s unfinished innings saw him hit four sixes and two fours during his 87-ball 67 while Wickham stroked two boundaries in his 61-ball 43 before being caught at deep backward square. Drakes returned 2-10 while McAllister had 2-15.
