In a thrilling display of cricketing prowess, Trinidad and Tobago Red Force opener Cephas Cooper marked his debut in the CG United Super50 Cup with a stellar performance, scoring a maiden half-century of 72 runs off 78 balls. The match, held at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba on November 21, saw Cooper’s efforts complemented by veteran Jason Mohammed’s impressive 87 runs, guiding the hosts to a respectable total of 256/8 in their allotted overs. Cooper’s innings, adorned with 11 boundaries, was a testament to his composure and skill under pressure. Despite early setbacks, including the dismissals of Kjorn Ottley and Joshua Da Silva, Cooper and Mohammed forged a crucial 62-run partnership, stabilizing the innings. The Red Force’s late surge, fueled by contributions from Navin Bidaisee and Joshua James, ensured a competitive total. Jamaica Scorpions, in reply, were 20/1 at the close of play, with Kirk McKenzie and Romaine Morris at the crease. Meanwhile, Barbados Pride secured their first win of the tournament with a commanding seven-wicket victory over Leeward Islands Hurricanes, thanks to standout performances from Akeem Jordan and Joshua Bishop. The match between Guyana Harpy Eagles and Windward Islands Volcanoes was abandoned due to a wet outfield, further highlighting the unpredictable nature of the tournament.
