Guyana will take on the Windward Islands in the second semi-final of the 2021 Super50 Cup at the Coolidge Ground in Antigua on Thursday.
The two teams previously faced each other on Monday, with Guyana beating Winward Islands by 9 wickets in an one-sided affair.
In that game, Windward Islands won the toss and chose to bat first. But they couldn’t put up a good batting display. Besides Kevin Stoute (41) and Emmanuel Stewart (46), no other Windward Islands batsman got going as they were bowled out for 153.
In reply, Chandrapaul Hemraj (41) and Tevin Imlach (37*) provided a strong start to Guyana, with Shimron Hetmyer scoring a whirlwind (67*) to help them easily win the encounter. Guyana's Keon Joseph was adjudged Man of the Match for his superb spell of 4/24.
