So the Regional Super50 is concluded.
The second semi-final saw Barbados Pride beat the Leeward Islands Hurricanes by 110 runs. Shai Hope set up the win with a 125 runs. Kraigg Brathwaite (54) and Jason Holder (42) also contributed with the bat to push Barbados to 314/7 while Carlos Brathwaite (27 and 3-56) put in a very useful allround performance. The Leewards had a good opening bat in Montcin Hodge who put on 63 but nobody else supported him (except Cornwall briefly) and the Leewards were bowled out for 204.
In the final between Jamaica Scorpions and Barbados Pride, Barbados batted first and Jamaica's bowlers had them under control for a good period with Barbados on 138/5 at on point, up until around the 40th-42nd over when Shai Hope and Jason Holder put on 127 runs for the sixth wicket in 13.4 overs (in fact for a six over period they put on 94 runs). There was some odd captaincy by Nikita Miller for Barbados as he didn't bring on Rovman Powell until the 46th over despite Powell having been the key in the demolition of the Trinidad & Tobago team in the semi-final and Powell not being injured. Powell went on to prise out two inexpensive wickets including that of Holder and breaking the Holder/Hope partnership. Barbados finished on 271/9. In reply Jamaica got off to an indifferent start with only Walton making any contribution (26) by the 16th over with 3 wickets lost and then Barbados gutted the Jamaica team to leave them on 122/7 in the 31st over. Rovman Powell went on to offer the only serious resistance for Jamaica by putting on 65 from 59 balls but got insufficient support and was caught by Holder off the bowling of Carlos in the 45th over to end Jamaica's innings on 212 all out, Barbados winning by 59 runs.
As for the standout performances. For batting it was Kieran Powell, Kraigg Brathwaite, Shai Hope, Sunil Ambris (for the Windwards), Jason Mohammed, Rovman Powell and Montcin Hodge. They all scored over 350 runs for the tournament with averages between 44 and 70. Rakheem Cornwall had an average of 50 but scored 252 runs aggregate.
For bowling the most consistent bowlers were Ashley Nurse, Sulieman Benn, Jason Holder (all three figure in the top 10 for number of wickets, averages and econ rates) along with Cottrell, Rampaul and Chase (top 10 in two out of the three categories). Alzarri Joseph, Jerome Taylor and Shannon Gabriel also had very good tournaments (Taylor the most out of those 3).
