The Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board T20 Festival Premiership One kicked off with a bang yesterday at the iconic Queenโs Park Oval, and as expected, our formidable Nu-Iron Queenโs Park Cricket Club, the reigning champions, asserted their dominance right from the start. They secured a commanding 29-run victory over Preysal Sports, employing the Duckworth/Lewis/Stern (DLS) method after the match was reduced to 17 overs. This opening win sets a strong tone for our Parkites as they aim to defend their title in what is always a fiercely contested festival.
