Saint Lucia’s West Indies B selectee Kimani Melius has registered the most prolific knock so far in the 50-overs segment of the 2018 Cricket West Indies Under-19 Championship, hitting 102 against Canada in their match at Park Hill yesterday.

Melius guided the Windward Islands to a total of 310/7, eventually earning a 79-run win, as the Canadians were held to 231/9.

Kimani’s 102 came in typically belligerent fashion, as he faced only 58 balls, spent just over an hour at the crease, and hit 13 fours and six sixes, for a 175.86 strike rate. He has moved back to the top of the batting table.

Windward Islands remain in fourth place – out of seven teams – going into the final round of matches. They will play unbeaten Guyana tomorrow at the Arnos Vale Playing Field.

Meanwhile, six-time champion Serena Williams made her return to the US Open with a clinical first-round win over Poland’s Magda Linette.

Opening Monday’s night session at Arthur Ashe Stadium, she won 6-4 6-0 against her 68th-ranked opponent.
