Barrackpore West Secondary has clinched the PowerGen Secondary Schools Cricket League Championship Division T20 title, showcasing a disciplined all-round performance in their victory over St Anthony’s College. The final, held at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, saw Barrackpore West Sec emerge triumphant by seven wickets.

St Anthony’s College struggled to build momentum after being put in to bat, managing only 99 for nine in their allotted 20 overs.

In their pursuit of the target, Barrackpore West Sec faced a slight interruption due to rain, which revised the target to 75 runs in 15 overs. However, the team maintained composure, with Ansar Mohammed leading the charge with an unbeaten 29, supported by Keshav Doon's 23. This steady partnership guided them to victory, securing the championship title.

The win marks a significant achievement for Barrackpore West Secondary, highlighting their skill and determination throughout the tournament. The team's ability to adapt to changing conditions and maintain focus under pressure was key to their success in this T20 final.
