The Leeward Islands Hurricanes are set to face off against the Windward Islands Volcanoes in the first day/night encounter of the upcoming 2025 CG United Super50 Cup at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy. Cricket West Indies (CWI) has announced that all day/night clashes will be broadcast live on ESPN Caribbean, ESPN+, Disney+, and Fancode in India.
CWI had also earlier confirmed that this season, which bowls off today, Wednesday 19th November, will be reduced to 16 matches, down from 31, and will be contested over eleven days, entirely in Trinidad & Tobago from November 19 to 29. Teams will compete in a round-robin structure, with the top two qualifying directly for the final.
This year’s format has been forced by what the board described as a “challenging financial period for the organisation.” Six teams will feature, down from eight, following the strategic exclusion of the West Indies Academy and Combined Campuses and Colleges.
The day’s early games will feature the four other teams in the competition, with last year’s finalists, the Jamaica Scorpions, tackling the Guyana Harpy Eagles at the Queen’s Park Oval, while the other finalists, the Barbados Pride, take on hosts the T&T Red Force at the Sir Frank Worrell Cricket Ground. Both matches will be live on the Windies Cricket YouTube channel.
