Rawlins Century Powers Bermuda to Win Over Brazil
|
 Luke Horan Claimed 4 Wickets IslandStats.com
A magnificent, blistering century from captain Delray Rawlins powered Bermuda to a crushing 146-run victory over Brazil at the National Sports Center, keeping their ICC Men's T20 World Cup Americas Sub-Regional Qualifier A campaign in imperious form.
On a sun-drenched afternoon in Devonshire, the home side put on a clinical masterclass with both bat and ball to completely outclass their South American opponents from the opening delivery.
Having been inserted to bat, Bermuda laid waste to the Brazilian bowling attack to post a colossal 220 for 4 off their allotted 20 overs.
The innings belonged entirely to the explosive Delray Rawlins, who played a truly unforgettable knock of 121 off just 66 balls. The left-hander struck the ball with terrifying clean-hitting power, clearing the boundary ropes at will to smash 6 fours and a staggering 11 sixes.
The Brazil fielders were reduced to spectators for large parts of the opening innings as Rawlins anchored a series of rapid partnerships. Amidst the carnage, Michel Assuncao offered the most resistance with the ball for the visitors, returning tidy, highly respectable figures of one wicket for 16 runs off his two overs.
Chasing a daunting mountain of 221 for an unlikely victory, the Brazilian batting card collapsed under the weight of the scoreboard pressure and a relentless, disciplined local bowling attack.
The visitors had simply no answer for the exceptional Luke Horan, who tore through the top and middle order with an elite exhibition of line and length. Horan finished with a sensational four-wicket haul, conceding a microscopic 13 runs from his full allocation of four overs.
Brazil were ultimately bundled out for a meager 74 runs as the local spinners closed the game out with clinical precision. Opener Gabriel Oliveira offered the solitary bright spark for the traveling side, battling his way to a top score of 15 before being undone by the surface's variable bounce.
The comprehensive 146-run victory sends a massive statement to the rest of the Americas region, sealing crucial net run-rate points as Bermuda continues its steady push toward global qualification.

Inaugural FrayStar Youth Cricket Festival Ignites at Saltus
|
The future of Bermudian cricket took center stage as the inaugural FrayStar Cricket Institute Youth Cricket Festival got underway with a spectacular display of power-hitting at the Saltus Grammar School Field.
Organized to showcase the island's emerging junior talent, the opening day of the festival delivered immediate fireworks, featuring an unblemished batting display and a sensational, high-stakes run chase.
The tournament opened with a dominant exhibition from Cleveland County, who ruthlessly dismantled Bailey’s Bay to secure a clinical ten-wicket victory.
Having been put in to bat first in the ten-over format, Bailey’s Bay found boundaries hard to come by against a disciplined Cleveland bowling attack. They managed to post a modest 55 for 4 off their allotted ten overs, failing to find the explosive acceleration needed to set a Truly intimidating target.
In stark contrast, Cleveland County’s opening pair made absolute mockery of the chase. Slicing through the field with aggressive intent, they reached their target inside the distance without losing a single wicket, closing out the match on 58 without loss to signal their title intentions early.
If the opening encounter was a one-sided affair, the second match of the festival produced an absolute classic as Somerset Cricket Club pulled off a spectacular six-wicket victory over Warwick Workmen’s Club Red.
Warwick Red looked to have completely closed the door on their opponents after an extraordinary, unblemished batting display. The Warwick openers carried their bats flawlessly through the innings, treating the spectators to a masterclass of placement and running to post a formidable 103 without loss on the board.
Facing a daunting mountain to climb, Somerset’s young batters refused to buckle under the pressure. Showing immense tactical maturity, they kept abreast of the steep required run rate from the opening over.
Despite losing four wickets along the way as Warwick scrambled to defend their total, Somerset’s middle order held their nerve in a breathless finale to cross the line at 105 for 4, sealing a memorable win on a phenomenal opening day for youth cricket.

Bascome Helps Coventry & North Warwickshire Win
|
Okera Bascome enjoyed a victorious afternoon in the Warwickshire County Cricket League Premier Division, as Coventry & North Warwickshire CC secured a clinical five-wicket triumph over Walmley CC.
On an afternoon where disciplined fielding and methodical chasing took center stage, Bascome’s sharp glovework helped set the foundation for a dominant team display.
Having won the toss and elected to bowl, Coventry & North Warwickshire immediately vindicated the decision by squeezing the life out of the Walmley batting lineup.
The visitors were eventually bundled out for 175, failing to establish the partnerships needed to post a truly intimidating target. Peter Shackleford offered the most prolonged resistance, grafting his way to a top score of 43 before the lower order collapsed.
The catalyst for the collapse was a lethal spell from bowler T Toor. In a supreme exhibition of control, Toor tore through the order to return standout figures of four wickets for 31 runs off 10.1 overs.
He was single-handedly aided by the sharp reflexes of Bascome, who held onto three crucial catches behind the stumps to keep Walmley firmly on the back foot.
Chasing 176 for victory, Coventry & North Warwickshire paced their reply beautifully to avoid any major late-innings jitters.
The chase was completely anchored by a magnificent, unbeaten knock from A Patel, who stroked his way to a match-winning 79 not out to steer his side toward the win.
There was brief frustration for Bascome, who was unluckily run out for just six runs after a sharp piece of fielding in the ring. Walmley's J Hall did his best to trigger a late collapse, returning a tidy spell of 10.1-0-33-2, but Patel's class shone through.
Coventry & North Warwickshire comfortably crossed the line, reaching 181 for 5 to seal an important Premier Division victory and keep their momentum rolling into next weekend.

Bermuda Crush Panama to in Second 10-Wicket Win
|
 Derrick Brangman took 3 wickets IslandStats.com
Bermuda made it two wins from two in spectacular fashion at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Americas Sub-Regional Qualifiers, demolishing Panama by 10 wickets at the National Sports Center North Field.
The clinical victory mirrors their opening-round performance, marking a second consecutive ten-wicket demolition as the host nation lays down a devastating marker in the tournament.
After winning the toss and electing to bat, Panama’s decision quickly backfired in the face of a relentless Bermudian bowling attack. The visitors were bundled out for a meager 69 runs, failing to handle the suffocating accuracy of the home spinners.
Derrick Brangman was the destructor-in-chief, tearing through the batting lineup to return phenomenal figures of 3 wickets for just 9 runs off his three overs.
He was expertly mirrored at the other end by Dominic Sabir, who kept the pressure vice-like with an equally ruthless spell of 3 for 10. Only Panama's Parth Jayeshbhai Patel offered any prolonged resistance, grafting his way to a top score of 22 before the collapse was finalized.
If the bowling performance was disciplined, the run chase was pure, unadulterated carnage.
Bermuda needed just 27 deliveries to obliterate the target, blasting their way to 73 without loss in a staggering 4.3 overs to wrap up the contest before the fans had even settled into their seats.
Delray Rawlins played a blistering, box-office innings, hammering a sensational half-century off a mere 17 balls. His brutal assault included three boundaries and six massive maximums.
Not to be outdone, his opening partner Onias Bascome joined the fireworks, scoring a rapid-fire 21 from 10 balls—clearing the ropes three times himself—to seal a flawless, high-octane victory that sends Bermuda clear at the top of the standings.

Correia Coolness Guides West to All-Star Victory
|
U12 Soft Ball All Stars East 94/9 U12 Soft Ball All Stars 2026 West 96/7
The West claimed bragging rights in the Under-12 Soft Ball All-Star Cricket match, sealing a tense three-wicket victory over the East at the Warwick Academy School Field.
In a brilliant showcase of Bermuda's emerging young cricket talent, a stellar rearguard knock from Tanner Correia proved to be the difference in a game defined by sharp bowling and shifting momentums.
Having been put in to bat first, the East struggled to find their rhythm against a disciplined, aggressive West bowling attack. They managed to navigate their allotted 20 overs but were restricted to 94 for 9.
Tami O'Brien played a vital anchor role for the East, top-scoring with a resilient 18 runs to give his side something to defend.
However, the innings belonged to West bowler Mason Barioni. In a masterclass of line and length, Barioni turned in the standout figures of the afternoon, conceding a meager three runs while picking up two crucial wickets during his stingy two-over spell.
Chasing 95 for victory, the West’s reply threatened to unravel as the East bowlers bit back.
Cairo Johnson spearheaded the East’s defensive effort with an exceptional, highly economical spell of his own. Johnson claimed two quick wickets for just four runs off his solitary over, ripping through the order to leave the result hanging in the balance.
With the pressure mounting, Tanner Correia stepped up. Displaying maturity beyond his years, Correia anchored the lower-order chase, striking a vital, unbeaten 17 off just 14 deliveries.
His calm presence at the crease steadyed the ship, allowing the West to hunt down the target and finish on 96 for 7 to secure a thrilling All-Star victory.
