Dangerous pitch forces abandonment of Red Force-Hurricanes clash

ST JOHN’S, Antigua (CMC): The second-round match between the Leeward Islands Hurricanes and Trinidad and Tobago Red Force was abandoned on the third day after it was determined that the pitch at the Sir Viv Richards Stadium was unfit and dangerous. The decision was made after on-field umpires Leslie Reifer and Zahid Bassarath suggested that play be stopped after Hurricanes’ batter Jeremiah Louis was struck by a delivery from fast bowler Jayden Seales. At the time, the home side were 140 for seven in their second innings, an overall lead of 96 runs.
