Cricket West Indies (CWI) on Friday announced the fixtures for next month’s CG United Super50 Cup, which will be played entirely in Trinidad.
The tournament will be played in a round-robin format over 11 days from November 19 to 29 at three different venues: the Brian Lara Cricket Academy (BLCA), Queen’s Park Oval (QPO) and Sir Frank Worrell Cricket Ground (UWI SPEC).
The six regional squads: Trinidad and Tobago Red Force (TTRF), Barbados Pride (BF), Guyana Harpy Eagles (GHE), Jamaica Scorpions (JS), Leeward Islands Hurricanes (LIH) and Windward Islands Volcanoes (WIV), will battle for the top prize of US$100,000, with US$50,000 being awarded to the runner-up, while the 3rd and 4th placed teams will each take home US$25,000.
A new champion will be crowned following last year’s debacle, which saw the Barbados Pride and Jamaica Scorpions failing to take field in the final, resulting in CWI not naming a winner.
On the opening day on November 19, the Scorpions and Harpy Eagles will face off, with the Red Force and Barbados Pride clashing in the morning matches, while the Hurricanes and Volcanoes will take the field in for the afternoon contest.
