FATULLAH – Captain Shimron Hetmyer struck a half-century in a timely return to form while opener Tevin Imlach chipped in with another, as West Indies Under-19s reached the final four of the Under-19 Cricket World Cup with a convincing five-wicket win over Pakistan Under-19s here yesterday.
Playing in the last quarter-final at Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium, the Young Windies successfully chased down 228 with ten overs to spare, to set up a meeting with hosts Bangladesh on Thursday.
They were carried by Imlach, who top-scored with 54, and Hetmyer, who turned the page on a run of indifferent form with 52.
Shamar Springer chimed in with 37, Jyd Goolie got an unbeaten 26 while Gidron Pope, 25, and Keemo Paul, 24 not out, played key roles as well.
