Kaieteur Sports – Classy knocks from Guyana Harpy Eagles skipper Tevin Imlach and opener Matthew Nandu helped their team to an 8-wicket win over Leeward Island Hurricanes, thus securing their first win this season.
Chasing 139 for victory, Guyana captain Imlach (69*) and centurion from a few rounds prior, Nandu (50) took Guyana to the finish line.
Imlach struck 9 fours while the in-form Nandu hit three fours and a six before being removed by off-spinner Rakeem Cornwall (1-33). The pair featured in a hundred plus runs stand for the second wicket after the departure of Tagenarine Chanderpaul.
Earlier left-arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul led his young bowling unit with returns of 3-24.
Fellow slow bowler Ashmead Nedd (2-19) and speedster Nial Smith (2-42) capped off a good performance by the Eagles bowling unit.
All-rounder Cornwall hit seven fours in his 36 while Jeremiah Louis (34) and Justin Greaves (27) were their primary scorers for Leewards.
