Regional Super50 – 1st Semi-Final…Alleyne hammers 99 as CCC neutralizes Red Force by 140 runs
Combined Colleges and Colleges (CCC) hammered Trinidad and Tobago Red Force by 140 runs to win the first semi final of the Regional Super 50 competition last evening at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados.
Anthony Alleyne
The defending champions lost the toss to their lesser known opponents CCC; the latter decided to take first strike and were led to a competitive 232-7 from their 50 overs guided by a well played 99 from the bat of opener Anthony Alleyne who featured in an opening stand of 45 with Chadwick Walton who was the first to go for 25 (4×4) off 21 balls.
Alleyne, who was the sixth batsman to fall with the score on 215 in the 47th over, went lbw to spinner Sherwin Ganga just one short of what would have been a well deserved hundred. But he had already laid a solid foundation for his side with a well composed innings that was decoradted with eight fours from 139 balls.
Nekoli Parris backed up with 43 (3×4, 1×6), Raymond Reifer 16 (1×4) not out and Kyle Corbin 14. Yannick Ottley was the pick of the bowlers for the Red Force with 3-37 from 10 overs while Imran Khan took 2-37 from 10 and Sherwin Ganga 2-39 from 9.5 overs.
The score was always going to be a challenge for the Twin Island Republic team and they did not make a good showing at all as they were sent packing for a disappointing 92 in 31.2 overs in reply, to lose by a massive 140 runs.
Rayad Emrit 23 (3×4), Jason Mohammed 14 and Sherwin Ganga 11 were the only batsmen to reach double figures as Kesrick Williams snared 3-16 from 7 overs while Raymond Reifer claimed 2-11 from 5 overs and Akeem Dewar 2-14 from 5.2 overs.
CCC will now play the winner of the second semi final which will be played today between Jamaica and the Windward Islands.
