The CG United Super50 Cup has kicked off with a mix of weather disruptions and thrilling cricket action. Trinidad and Tobago Red Force are eagerly awaiting clear skies for their upcoming match against Jamaica Scorpions at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba on November 21. Their initial game against Barbados Royals at the Sir Frank Worrell Memorial Ground in St Augustine was abandoned due to relentless rain, resulting in both teams sharing two points each. The match, delayed by over five hours due to a wet outfield, was reduced to a 20-over contest. Barbados openers Kyle Mayers and Leniko Boucher managed an unbeaten 48-run partnership before the rain returned, halting play indefinitely. Similarly, the clash between Guyana Harpy Eagles and Jamaica Scorpions at the Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain ended in a no-result after Guyana posted 287/7 in 47.1 overs. In contrast, Windward Islands Volcanoes secured a dramatic two-wicket victory over Leeward Islands Hurricanes at Tarouba, propelling them to the top of the table. Leewards set a formidable target of 324, powered by Kofi James’ century and half-centuries from Mikyle Louis and Carlon Bowen-Tuckett. Windwards’ chase was anchored by Darron Nedd’s 94 and Dillon Douglas’ 61, culminating in a thrilling win with 325/8 in 43.5 overs. As the tournament progresses, Red Force hopes for better weather to keep their title aspirations alive, while Windwards aim to continue their winning streak against Guyana Harpy Eagles.
