MATTHEW Patrick and Jayden Seales guided the West Indies Under-19 team to a huge 246-run win over Nigeria in the International Cricket Council Under-19 50-over World Cup in South Africa, on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Patrick struck 68 and captain Kimani Melius hit 65 as West Indies posted 303\/8 in 50 overs batting first. Trinidadian Patrick, who won the player of the match award, faced 70 balls and struck six fours and two sixes.<\/p>\n
Tobago boy Joshua James contributed a quick 43 at the end of the innings. Bowling for Nigeria, Peter Aho (2\/53), Abdulrahman Jimoh (2\/56) and Sylvester Okpe (2\/66) all took two wickets.<\/p>\n
In reply, Trinidadian fast bowler Jayden Seales grabbed his second four-wicket haul of the tournament as Nigeria were bundled out for 57 in 21.4 overs. Seales ended with 4\/19 in six overs and the spin pair of Ashmead Nedd (3\/11) and Patrick (2\/16) were also among the wickets.<\/p>\n
The victory meant West Indies sealed top spot in Group B and go into the quarterfinals with three wins from as many matches.<\/p>\n
