Guyana were well placed after contrasting half centuries from Ashkay Homraj and Tagenarine Chanderpaul on the opening day of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) Regional Under-19 Three-Day Tournament here, yesterday.
Played at the Guyana National Stadium at Providence, Chanderpaul’s patient knock of 65 combined with an attacking innings of 62 from 67 deliveries by Homraj saw the locals posting 270 all out after they won the toss and opted to bat.
The Leeward Island were 21-1 after 10 overs at close of play.
Chanderpaul, who represented the West Indies Under-19 team at this year’s Youth World Cup, stablised the top order while Homraj dominated the lower order batting.
Guyana ended the first session at 72-2 with Chanderpaul on 25 and Balchand Baldeo on 19. Shimron Hetmyer
