Red Force play third practice match

THE TT Red Force will continue to prepare for the Cricket West Indies (CWI) Regional Super50 tournament with its third practice match over the past week at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba, at 9.30 am, on Monday.

The Red Force, under new coach David Furlonge and manager Sebastian Edwards, will have its first major assignment for 2021 at the CWI Regional Super50 tournament in Antigua from February 4 to 27.

On Wednesday, the Imran Khan XI defeated the Denesh Ramdin XI by nine wickets in the first practice match.

Seasoned campaigner Ravi Rampaul grabbed 4/27 and Evin Lewis scored 80 retired not out to propel the Khan XI to victory.

In the second practice match on Friday the Ramdin XI won by 50 runs in a 40-over match.

Tion Webster cracked 127 for the Ramdin XI and Jyd Goolie’s 122 not out was not enough for the Khan XI to emerge victorious.

Following Monday’s practice match the Red Force players will take a short break for Christmas, before playing two more practice matches on December 28 and 30.
