West Indies Under-19 captain, Barbadian Joshua Dorne, led from the front as his team hammered the England Under-19s by 98 runs in the fourth Youth One-Day International series.
Playing at the National Cricket Stadium in St George’s, Grenada, the visitors won the toss and elected to field.
Zachery Carter and fellow opener Tanez Frances (51) combined for an opening stand of 55 before Carter departed in the eighth over for 34. Dorne, batting at number four, top-scored for his side with a patient 80 from 104 balls after his team was in some measure of trouble on 121 for four in the 28th over.
The skipper combined with Jonathan van Lange to share in a fifth wicket partnership of 120 before Dorne departed in the 47th over, off the bowling of Luke Hnads. Van Lange also smashed 80 from 68 balls, inclusive of four fours and four sixes, as the Windies ended on 280 for seven in their 50 overs. Hands captured three for 63 and Farhan Ahmed three for 37.
