Barbados Pride Cruise to Victory in Regional Super50
Raymon Reifer Praises Batsmen’s Outstanding Performance
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC—Barbados Pride captain Raymon Reifer praised his batsmen for their outstanding performance, which helped them book a spot in Saturday’s final of the Regional Super50.
Batsmen Score Half-Centuries, Defeat Trinidad & Tobago Red Force
Barbados defeated defending champions Trinidad & Tobago Red Force by 153 runs in a lopsided contest at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy on Wednesday and now await the winner of Thursday’s clash between the Leeward Islands Hurricanes and the Jamaica Scorpions.
Reifer Commends Batsmen’s Fearless Approach
Reifer made 65 and was one of three Pride batsmen who scored half-centuries. Zachary McCaskie top-scored with 94, while Leniko Boucher made 69.
Roston Chase Contributes 43, Takes Two Wickets
Roston Chase also chipped in with 43 as the Pride amassed 339 for seven in their 50 overs, the highest total in this year’s competition.
Red Force Captain Admits Team’s Poor Performance
Meanwhile, Red Force captain Khary Pierre admitted that his side fell with both bat and ball.
“I think we went wrong with the ball and the bat. Barbados played a great game; they were positive, they started well, and that momentum carried them with the bat.
“I think 339 on the board was a good score, but halfway through, we could have gotten the runs. I think we faltered. No batsmanship was showed, we lost wickets in clusters, and we had no partnerships,” Pierre said.
Conclusion
Barbados Pride’s victory in the Regional Super50 has sent them to the final, where they will face the winner of Thursday’s clash between the Leeward Islands Hurricanes and the Jamaica Scorpions. With two days’ rest before the final, the Pride will look to continue their winning momentum and claim the championship title.
