Guyana Harpy Eagles recovered from 35-4 to defeat West Indies Academy by two wickets in the CG United Super50 Cup on Monday night at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad.
From 77-5 chasing 201, Kemol Savory and Kevlon Anderson added 76 to put Harpy Eagles back on course for victory.
Anderson made an even-fifty off 81 balls (2x4s), his second half-century this season, while Savory kept his composure to take the Harpy Eagles to victory.
The left-hander stroked 56* off 85 balls (3x4s), his third fifty of the competition.
