Rahkeem Cornwall’s maiden regional one-day hundred was enough for Leeward Islands Hurricanes to earn their first win of the NAGICO Super50, with a 48-run verdict over West Indies Under-19s here Sunday.
The burly 21-year-old clobbered an unbeaten 113 from a mere 70 deliveries, an innings that powered the Leewards to a decent 231 for eight after they were sent in at the National Cricket Centre.
Opener Austin Richards chipped in with 36 and captain Devon Thomas, 30, but no other batsman made it past 15 as the Leewards lost wickets in clusters. Seamer Odean Smith was the best bowler with three for 37 while off-spinner Ramaal Lewis picked up two for 34.
In reply, West Indies Under-19s then squandered a healthy start of 63 by openers Tagenarine Chanderpaul (26) and Shimron Hetmyer (24), to slide to 183 for nine off their 50 allotted overs. Roland Cato top scored with 46 while Kacey Karty got 26.
Off-spinner Hayden Walsh Jr (2-24) and seamers Jeremiah Louis (2-29) and Gavin Tonge (2-38), all finished with two wickets apiece.
