The Guyana Harpy Eagles repeat as champions in the West Indies Championship.

The Guyana Harpy Ea­gles cap­tured their sec­ond suc­ces­sive West In­dies Cham­pi­onship ti­tle when they drew with sec­ond placed Trinidad and To­ba­go Red Force at the Queen's Park Oval in St Clair, Port-of-Spain on Sat­ur­day’s fi­nal day of their sev­enth-round clash.

The re­sult pro­peled the Harpy Ea­gles – which won four of their sev­en match­es – to an unas­sail­able 126.6 points, with the Red Force, cur­rent­ly in sec­ond with 111 points, await­ing the out­come of the match be­tween the Lee­ward Is­lands Hur­ri­canes and Bar­ba­dos Pride to de­ter­mine their po­si­tion.

The Harpy Ea­gles were al­ways favoured to re­tain their ti­tle head­ing in­to the fi­nal day, with the Red Force need­ing di­vine in­ter­ven­tion to pull off an im­prob­a­ble win.

Re­sum­ing the day on 101 for two, still 122 runs in ar­rears, the Red Force were giv­en a boost by Ja­son Mo­hammed’s 17th first class cen­tu­ry and a fight­ing half cen­tu­ry from cap­tain Joshua Da Sil­va.

Mo­hammed scored 125 from 186 balls, and Da Sil­va hit 77 off 79 de­liv­er­ies, which helped them to get up to 370 for nine be­fore de­clar­ing their in­nings.

Left-arm spin­ner Ash­mead Nedd grabbed 4-105 and vet­er­an spin­ner Veerasam­my Per­maul took 3-138.

With the Harpy Ea­gles chas­ing just 147 for vic­to­ry, the Red Force need­ed quick wick­ets to give them­selves a chance.

How­ev­er, it was not to be, as Ray­mond Perez scored an un­beat­en 26 and the Harpy Ea­gles reached 33 with­out loss be­fore both sides agreed to a draw.
