Nevis had a strong performance in the second game of the Leeward Islands 50 overs tournament, scoring 254 runs against Antigua & Barbuda on Monday. This was thanks to a century-opening partnership between Ross Powell and Jamie Cornelius, as well as a well-played half-century by Shelton Forbes. However, an unbeaten century by Tyrone Williams Jr, the brother of the late Runako Morton, led Antigua to a comfortable victory in the end.
