After losing the toss and being sent into bat at Coolidge Cricket Ground, the Guyana Harpy Eagles made the Barbados Pride bowlers yesterday on day one of their fourth round encounter, ending on 231/5 at stumps courtesy of half-centuries from Tevin Imlach and Kevlon Anderson.
The Harpy Eagles innings began steadily, with Matthew Nandu and Tagenarine Chanderpaul looking increasingly comfortable on a dead track. The duo would put on 52 for the opening partnership and were cruising before tragedy struck.
Nandu pushed a delivery from spinner Jomel Warrican to long-on and took off for a single, but Chanderpaul was caught ball-watching at the non-striker’s end and left Nandu stranded, unable to make it to his crease, run-out for 28 in the 25th over. The young opener was understandably furious and could be heard shouting “my call” after his run-out.
