Joshua Da Silva smashes century on day of draws

ST JOHN’S, Antigua (CMC) — Trinidad and Tobago Captain Joshua Da Silva scored his second-successive century on an otherwise uneventful final day of the West Indies Championship third round, which saw all three matches end in predictable draws.

Despite his performance, however, Red Force drew with Leeward Islands Hurricanes. Windward Islands Volcanoes and Combined Campuses and Colleges (CCC) also played to a stalemate, while the rain held up just long enough for the Guyana Harpy Eagles to gain first-innings points over West Indies Academy.

At Warner Park, Da Silva followed up his first-innings knock of 152 by scoring an even, unbeaten century as the match between Trinidad and Tobago Red Force and Leeward Islands Hurricanes petered out to a draw.

The Hurricanes made a valiant effort but eventually fell short of T&T’s first-innings total of 529-5 declared, being eventually dismissed for 433.

Resuming the day in a strong position of 317 for three, the Hurricanes were undermined by the spinning duo of Khary Pierre and Yannic Cariah, who took five wickets apiece.

Once overnight batsmen Jewel Andrew, who made 40, and Karima Gore, who made 68 were dismissed, the Hurricanes lost their last six wickets for 55 runs.

Pierre finished with 5-93 while Cariah took 5-103.

Da Silva then raced to 100 off 108 balls, with 11 fours and one six, before the match was called off with Red Force on 191 for three.

At Windsor Park, only 11 overs were possible on the fourth and final day between Windward Islands Volcanoes and CCC.

Resuming the day on 29 without loss after conceding a first-innings lead of 32, CCC added a further 31 runs before showers ended the day’s proceedings.

Openers Damel Evelyn ended unbeaten on 37 while Kieran Powell was not out on 20.

At Guyana National Stadium, left-arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul claimed six wickets to help defending champions Guyana Harpy Eagles earn first-innings points over West Indies Academy.

Permaul took 6-75, including two of the last three wickets, to dismiss the Academy for 249 runs — four runs short of the Harpy Eagles’ total of 253.

The Academy looked set to take first-innings points when they were poised at 249 for seven at one point. But without the addition of another run, Permaul bowled Johann Layne for 12 and dismissed McKenny Clarke for a duck before Gudakesh Motie wrapped up the innings by bowling Zishan Motara for 22.

Permaul ended with 6-75 while Motie and Nial Smith took two wickets apiece.

The rains then came, preventing Harpy Eagles from batting in their second innings.
