Preysal reach T20 semis

Preysal Sports Club has clinched a coveted semi-final berth in the TTCB T20 Festival, demonstrating a strong performance to overcome Prison Sports Club by eight wickets.

The match saw Prison Sports set a competitive total of 153 for eight, with notable contributions from Sidel Diaz (54) and Shaundel Emmons (50). However, Preysal's bowling attack, led by Akshaya Persaud and Marlon Richards who both took three wickets, managed to restrict the opposition.

In their chase, Preysal's batting lineup proved formidable. A crucial second-wicket partnership between Justin Jagessar, who scored a rapid 68, and Sachin Seecharan (35) laid the foundation for victory. Jagessar, alongside Akshaya Persaud (25 not out), guided Preysal to the target with ease, securing their place in the next stage of the tournament.

Meanwhile, PowerGen Penal Sports ended their Group B campaign with a victory over Profilbau Victoria United. Despite a blistering 84 from Jordan Warner for Victoria United, PowerGen successfully chased down the target of 182. However, this win was merely a consolation, as PowerGen failed to advance to the semi-finals, finishing fourth in their group.
