2025 CWI Regional 4-Day Championships Round 6…GHE vs. LIH Day 2
-GHE 2nd inns. (Nandu 53*, Anderson 31*) trail Hurricanes by 5 runs
Kaieteur Sports- Leewards batsman Keacy Carty missed out on a ton by eight runs, while Jahmar Hamilton scored 80 to consolidate, despite a brilliant 5-wicket haul from Guyana Harpy Eagles pacer Ronaldo Alimohamed following a highly-competitive 2nd day tussle yesterday at Warner Park.
Ronaldo Alimohamed-Ronaldo Alimohamed and Matthew Nandu played key roles in Guyana’s second day battle.
After trailing by 50 runs following the end of day one, Leewards owned most of the second day thanks to overnight batsman Carty, who sadly missed his hundred after grafting 92 from 182 balls including 12 fours, carrying his team’s batting for majority of day two.
Matthew Nandu-Ronaldo Alimohamed and Matthew Nandu played key roles in Guyana’s second day battle.
The veteran Hamilton got to his third half-century of the season, stabilizing the middle/lower-order with his robust innings of 80, smacking three sixes and 8 fours.
Apart from opener Mikyle Louis stroking a brisk 73 on day one, only captain Rahkeem Cornwall managed to show some late order aggression as he finished with 26 from 25 (4×4 1×6), carrying the Hurricanes to 335 all out in the 80th over.
Guyana’s spin department went wicket-less but success came from their three-pronged fast-bowling attack, led by Ronald Alimohamed who snared 5-91; as he continues to shoot up the list for leading wicket-takers this season.
Right-arm medium-pacers Nial Smith (2-62) and Keemo Paul (2-61), did a good job given the spin department’s first innings woes.
Guyana’s second innings saw them finish on 137-1 when play ended. It was headlined by a composed 78-run opening stand between Raymond Perez (49), who did all the hard work before giving his wicket away.
Other Eagles opener Matthew Nandu was rock-solid on 53* with five fours and will no doubt be eyeing a big score today, along with runs-machine Kevlon Anderson (31*), as both batsmen will be keen on controlling day three. (Clifton Ross)
