An instrumental innings by Kevin Sinclair along with support from last man in Ronsford Beaton ensured the Guyana Harpy Eagles a face-saving draw in their second-round clash against the Windward Islands Volcanoes Saturday. Playing at the National Cricket Stadium in Grenada, the Volcanoes posted 294 in their first innings while Eagles fell behind after making only 169 in their first innings.
However, an inspired bowling effort saw Volcanoes crumble for 168, setting Eagles a target of 294 for victory.
At 219 for nine, all seemed lost for Eagles but Sinclair produced his career-best score of 77 not out and along with Beaton spared his team’s blushes.
