Eagles’ second innings collapse sets up intriguing final day

Guyana Harpy Eagles were unable to replicate their first innings dominance over Barbados Pride, slipping to 91 for eight in their second innings on day three of their first round clash of the West Indies championships at the Antigua Recreation Ground.

Responding to Eagles’ first innings score of 371, Pride, resuming the day on 105 for three, were eventually rolled over for 220 in 91.2 overs. Eagles then extended their lead to 242 by the close of play with two wickets in hand at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, Antigua.

Shamarh Brooks converted his overnight score of 10 to 61 from 141 balls before he was caught by Matthew Nandu off of Veerasammy Permaul. During his 27th half-century, he struck five boundaries.
