CG United Super50: Harpy Eagles still winless as Red Force triumph in weather-hit contest

The Guyana Harpy Eagles (GHE) slumped to their first defeat of the ongoing CG United Regional Super50 Cup on Sudnay after a rain-hit encounter at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy saw Trinidad and Tobago Red Force secure victory via the DLS method.

Having won the toss; the Red Force opted to field first—and immediately justified the decision. Guyana’s top order faltered badly, collapsing to 21 for 4 inside 11 overs. Only brief resistance came from Ronaldo Ali Mohammed (25) and Keemo Paul (39) before wickets continued to tumble.
The inning’s highlight belonged to Gudakesh Motie, who produced a spirited counterattack. Anchoring the lower order, Motie struck an impressive 65 off 58 balls, decorated with six boundaries and three towering sixes. His efforts guided the Harpy Eagles to a modest total of 196 all out in 40.3 overs.
For Trinidad and Tobago, Ricky Jaipaul and Terrance Hinds starred with the ball, each claiming three wickets and applying relentless pressure throughout the innings. Guyana’s spinners attempted to keep the contest alive after the break. Motie, continuing his excellent day, combined with Junior Sinclair to reduce the hosts to 65 for 4, sparking hopes of a comeback. However, a composed and timely partnership between Tion Webster and Jyd Goolie shifted momentum back toward the home side.
Goolie delivered the decisive blow in the 21st over, launching debutant seamer Sylus Tyndall for three sixes and a four, producing 24 runs in a game-changing passage of play. When rain returned at 106 for 4 after 21.2 overs, the Red Force stood six runs ahead of the DLS par score, sealing their second win of the tournament. Webster remained unbeaten on 31, while Goolie finished on 29 not out.
The Harpy Eagles, still without a win after their first two matches were washed out, will now turn their attention to today’s clash against the Leeward Islands Hurricanes at the Queen’s Park Oval, starting at 09:00 hrs.
