The Guyana Harpy Eagles placed themselves in a solid position to regain the West Indies Championship following a 143-run win over Trinidad and Tobago in round three yesterday.

Resuming on 106 for three with 306 runs more needed for victory, the hosts were bowled out for 268 in 97.5 overs on the final day at Tarouba.

Discarded West Indies batsman, Darren Bravo resumed the day on 63 but fell five runs short of a century. His 170-ball innings featured 11 boundaries including a pull through square leg off of Veerasammy Permaul the delivery before he was caught at mid-wicket by a leaping Kevin Sinclair. Permaul also removed Imran Khan with the next delivery, the batsman getting a faint edge to Anthony Bramble behind the stumps.
