CG United Regional Super50 tournament: Eagles face CCC today

– Scorpions, WI Academy lock horns

An epic showdown is anticipated today at the Sir Frank Worrell Memorial Ground, as the formidable Guyana Harpy Eagles take on the awesome Combined Campuses and Colleges (CCC) in the latest fixture of the CG United Regional Super50 tournament.
Currently occupying fourth position with 13 points, the Eagles are on a rampaging streak, having won two out of three matches played. Their lower-order batting display has been nothing short of inspiring, and they are being led by the indomitable Veerasammy Permaul.
At the forefront of this inspiration is Sherfane Rutherford, whose sensational maiden List A century epitomized confidence, dominance, maturity and determination, as he snatched victory from the jaws of defeat for Guyana.
Romario Shepherd, Tevin Imlach and Kevin Sinclair have each displayed remarkable attributes, but all eyes are on Shimron Hetmyer who has yet to make a significant impact, having scored with just 49 runs in three innings. With his abundant talent, Tagenarine Chanderpaul is also expected to rise to the occasion, despite having scored a modest 49 runs in three innings.
Guyana Harpy Eagles will be counting on the talents of Kemol Savory and Kevlon Anderson, players both known for delivering excellent performances in the past. If these players deliver today, it could spell disaster for the CCC bowlers.

The Eagles’ bowling attack, featuring international bowlers like Gudakesh Motie, Sinclair, Permaul, Shepherd, and Ronsford Beaton, is arguably one of the tournament’s best, and poses a significant challenge for any opponent.
On the converse side, CCC carry a sense of confidence, driven by their captain Shane Dowrich, who delivered a match-defining century. Among their ranks, fast bowler Isai Thorne and all-rounder Akshaya Persaud are eager to make their mark. Johann Jeremiah’s exceptional batting, boasting an average of 68.5 and a strike rate exceeding 100, along with Kadeem Alleyne’s standout performances, could spell trouble for the Guyanese bowlers if the batsmen perform at their best.
Meanwhile, defending champions Jamaica Scorpions are seeking their first win of the season in their third attempt, as they face off against West Indies Academy at Queen’s Park Oval.
