West Indies U19s, bolstered by an attacking 49 from Evin Lewis, wrapped up their second consecutive practice match win yesterday, whipping Canada by six wickets in their ICC 2010 Youth World Cup warm-up game at Warner Park.
Batting first, Canada U19s scored 128 all out in 41.4 overs and the young Windies endured two rain stoppages before surging to victory at 132 for four off 26.4 overs. Akeem Dewar bagged three for 27 off 10 overs and his leg-spin partner Yannic Carriah claimed two for 20 off his 10 overs.
Trevon Griffith scored 21, with two fours and two sixes. Captain Yannick Ottley (15) and John Campbell (16), both run-out, were the other wickets to fall. Carriah (9) and Dewar (14) were the not-out batsmen when victory was achieved.
