West Indies’ domestic one-day competition Super50 Cup started on October 17, with two matches scheduled on Day 1.
The first contest between Comb C&C and Trinidad and Tobago ended without a result due to rain. In the second game of the day, Guyana came out on top over the Windward Islands.
In the first match of the tournament, Trinidad and Tobago batted first and posted a total of 246/6 in 44 overs. Darren Bravo, the skipper, was the highest scorer for his side, smacking 81* runs off 84 balls. He received substantial support from Joshua Da Silva, Jason Mohammed, and Yannic Cariah.
Chemar Holder, Romario Leon, Kadeem Alleyne, and Abhijai Mansingh bagged one wicket each for Comb C&C in the first innings.
Unfortunately, in the second innings, after six overs, the match got washed out due to excessive rainfall at the venue. As a result, the game ended without a result with no DLS in play.
In the second match of the day, Guyana batted first after losing the toss and posted a total of 229/9 in 50 overs, thanks to Tevin Imlach and Kevin Sinclair for scoring 41 runs each. Ryan John, the medium pacer, was the pick of the bowlers for Windward Islands as he scalped a four-wicket haul.
In response, Windward Islands could muster only 219 runs in 46 overs as they lost the game by 10 runs. Alick Athanaze's 75-run knock went in vain as he ended up as the game's top-scorer. Romario Shepherd bagged three big wickets to give his team Guyana a win.
