Guyana Jaguars solidified their spot at the top of the West Indies Championships with their fourth consecutive win after they defeated Windward Islands Volcanoes by eight wickets at the Providence National Stadium yesterday.

Playing in front of a decent crowd, West Indies test batsman, Shimron Hetmyer smashed a blistering half-century as the defending champions requiring just 117 runs in their second innings to score an outright win, reached 121-2 in the 19th over.

Volcanoes resuming yesterday’s final day on 167-3 in their second innings after following on, showed their fighting spirit with a century from skipper Kirk Edwards and half century from Denis Smith.
