CRICKET
Now only four teams stand for the semi-final showdown of the Lauderhill T20 International Cricket tournament, set for Sunday, May 14th, starting 5 p.m. at the Lauderhill Sports Complex.
At 5 p.m. number 2-ranked Team India will face off against Trinidad and Tobago. Both teams are technically tied, entering the semi-finals with 15 points each. As the first team to qualify for the semi-finals, Team India has been leading the pack with stellar performances, with stellar batsman Girish Gopalkrishnan and bowlers Sunil Nair and Abhisher Vadaila. Team Trinidad and Tobago has also been holding off the competition, much thanks to USA National Team batsman, Timothy Surubally. Both teams are evenly matches, with three wins and two losses.
At 8 p.m., the number one-ranked Guyana will compete against fourth-ranked Jamaica. The game will be a potential redemption for Guyana, who lost to Jamaica on April 30th due to forfeit. Based on stats, Guyana will be going in at an advantage, with 3 wins, 2 losses and 15 points, compared to Jamaica’s 2 wins, 2 losses and 12 points in total. In their arsenal, Team Guyana has former USA National representative, bowler Masood Mohamed. Jamaica may rally against the challenge, with some bright sparks, such as the reliable batsman Ken Wright and bowler Keyoine Gayle.
