CG Insurance Regional Super50…
After the Leeward Islands Hurricanes and the Windward Islands Volcanoes complete their clash today, February 7 in Antigua, match two of the CG Insurance Regional Super 50 Cup promises to be a cracker, with Guyana Jaguars and Barbados Pride locking horns.
The two teams will meet on Monday February 8 from 13:30h in a blockbuster day/night encounter. Not since 2017 have these two teams played in a Super50 clash. In the last five outings, Barbados Pride won four of those matches against Guyana Jaguars’ lone recorded win, which came in 2015.
However, the world has evolved, players have grown, and the team that plays better on the given day will come out on top. Both sides boast some senior Regional players and regular members of West Indies sides, with the likes of Shimron Hetmyer, Jason Holder, Romario Shepherd, Roston Chase, and Shamrah Brooks.
However, the Pride will be without the classy Shai Hope and Kyle Hope. Vice-captain of the Jaguars, Shimron Hetmyer, has said this clash would be filled with bragging rights between the West Indies regulars.
Jason Holder, meanwhile, has said: “We are really looking forward to the first tournament of the year. It’s great to be back, and there is a lot of excitement in our camp. We are focused on winning. It will be important to hold our nerve under pressure and execute under pressure.
