Red Force meet Volcanoes in today’s Super50 showdown

-CCC lock horns with WI Academy

Cricket fans are in for an exciting showdown, as the Trinidad and Tobago Red Force lock horns with the Windward Islands Volcanoes at the Queen’s Park Oval today. With both teams looking to make their mark in the tournament, this encounter promises to be a thrilling battle.
The Volcanoes, coming off a close 10-run loss to the Guyana Harpy Eagles in their opening match, are determined to bounce back and redeem themselves. Their batting lineup, anchored by Alick Athanaze and Andre Fletcher, exhibited some promise, and they’ll be hoping for more of the same. Ryan John showcased his bowling prowess with a four-wicket haul in their previous game, and he remains a key figure for the Volcanoes.
The Red Force have, however, recent enjoyed the upper hand over the Volcanoes, having beaten them in their last two encounters. Darren Bravo’s unbeaten 81 in a rain-affected draw against Combined Campuses and Colleges (CCC) showcased his form, and could be a pivotal factor for the Red Force. The likes of Jason Mohamed and Joshua Da Silva also displayed promise with scores of 41 and 48 respectively. With a strong bowling lineup featuring Akeal Hosein, Jayden Seals, Sunil Narine, Shannon Gabriel, and Terrance Hinds, the Red Force would aim to maintain their dominance.
Key players to watch include Kjorn Ottley, Tion Webster, Yannic Cariah for Red Force, and Athanaze, Fletcher and John for the Volcanoes. With a history of close contests between these teams, cricket enthusiasts can anticipate an exhilarating face-off.

In another exciting fixture, CCC will take on West Indies Academy at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy. Both teams are in search of a crucial win to boost their standings in the tournament.
CCC had a promising start with 53 not out before rain interrupted their game against Red Force. They are thus hungry for success and eager to leave their mark on the competition. Despite their recent form, they have the talent and potential to turn the tables on their opponents.
On the other hand, West Indies Academy have had a mixed bag of results, with three wins in eight matches, and a recent string of losses. They’ll be determined to regain their winning touch and build some momentum.
