Guyana Harpy Eagles extend lead in Four-Day Championship

Following their commanding 143-run victory over Trinidad and Tobago Red Force on Saturday at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, Guyana Harpy Eagles have extended their lead at the top of the West Indies Four-Day Championship heading into the final two rounds of matches.

Crucially, the Harpy Eagles’ final two games are at the National Stadium, Providence, a home venue where they have virtually been unbeatable. That means Leon Johnson’s men are in a prime position to retain a title they won five years in succession from the 2014-15 season.

With two wins and a draw from the three completed rounds, Harpy Eagles have moved to 49 points, 11.2 clear of Windward Islands Volcanoes, who have 37.8 points. Leeward Islands Hurricanes are third on 34.2 points.

Like Harpy Eagles, Volcanoes and Hurricanes also won their third round encounter, defeating Jamaica Scorpions by 181 runs and Barbados Pride by two wickets respectively.

Barbados Pride (31.2), Trinidad and Tobago Red Force (24.8) and Jamaica Scorpions (15.4) occupy positions fourth to sixth respectively on the points table.

The fourth round of matches will start on March 22 and the final round on March 29.
