Assuming the role of captain, Matthew Nandu hammered a historic century to lead West Indies to a 169-run win over Papua New Guinea in the plate quarter-final of the ongoing ICC Under-19 World Cup.
Playing in Trinidad and Tobago yesterday, West Indies were asked to bat first and duly piled up 317 for six from their allotted 50 overs before returning to bowl out PNG for 148 in 37.4 overs.
Nandu carved out 15 fours and two sixes during his 134-ball innings of 128. The left-hander became only the third Guyanese to reach triple figures in an official match at the youth World Cup following Steven Jacobs and Tagenarine Chanderpaul and only the fourth in a youth One Day International with the other being Leon Johnson.
