In a commanding display of cricketing prowess, the Soca Strikers clinched the Senior 50-Over trials final with a resounding nine-wicket victory over the Cocrico Warriors. The match, held at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba on October 17, saw the Strikers dismantle their opponents in a low-scoring affair. The Warriors, after winning the toss and choosing to bat first, were bowled out for a meager 89 runs in just 17.3 overs. Terrance Hinds, the Strikers’ fast bowler, was the standout performer, claiming four wickets for 29 runs. His aggressive spell, supported by Abdul-Raheem Toppin (2/32), Shaaron Lewis (1/10), and Damion Joachim (1/11), left the Warriors reeling at 51/6 after 11 overs. Only Joshua James (17), Navin Bidaisee (16), and Crystian Thurton (15) managed to reach double figures for the Warriors. In response, the Strikers’ top order made light work of the target. Opener Nicholas Sookdeosingh led the charge with a fearless 51 off 48 balls, including eight fours and one six. Cephas Cooper provided steady support with an unbeaten 30, while Leonardo Julien contributed five not out. The Strikers reached the target of 90 in just 15.2 overs, losing only one wicket. Terrance Hinds was named Man-of-the-Match for his pivotal role in the victory, while Abdul Raheem Toppin was awarded Player of the Tournament for his consistent performances throughout the trials.
