The Guyana Harpy Eagles suffered a significant batting collapse in the CG United Regional Super50, leading to their exit from the tournament at the hands of the Trinidad and Tobago Red Force, who secured a six-wicket victory  yesterday in the semi-final.

Eagles’ struggles with the bat were evident as they were asked to bat first at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy and managed a mere 105 runs, their lowest total of the tournament, in 34.3 overs. The Trinidad and Tobago Red Force maintained their unbeaten streak, cruising to a total of 107 for four in 27.4 overs. 

Terrance Hinds dismantled the top order, including the wicket of Shimron Hetmyer courtesy of an incredible one handed catch off his own bowling, reducing Eagles to 25 for four as the experience line up could not counter.
