PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC) – Led by a sensational maiden List A century by Javelle Glenn the Jamaica Scorpions powered their way into the final of the Regional Super50 with an impressive 107-run victory over the Leeward Islands Hurricanes here at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy on Thursday.

Glenn thumped 10 fours and six sixes in an unbeaten 114 from 96 balls and added an incredible 202 runs with Jeavor Royal and Gordon Bryan, respectively, to resuscitate the Scorpions’ innings and get them up to 352 for nine from their 50 overs, the highest total of the tournament.

Looks like I am the only one congratulating Jamaica but as their unofficial PR for so many years, I guess it’s my job

But I thoroughly understand the shock, for Jamaica has long been written off as a cricketing island

Thank you Imusic, that’s music to my ears

Congrats JA. I haven't seen the team so jubilant in a while. Hope that's the beginning of things to come.

I'll tell you that I was thinking that Jamaica had a very good and well balanced team better than all the other teams,I wasn't surprised at their comback,may I congratulate them on a brilliant win against a very tough team.I feel Campbell and Blackwood should be back in the test team,Odean Smith is showing good signs and J.Royal could be asking questions.WELL DONE!!!

In reply to Slipfeeler

I am very surprised at this so ..the other teams must have been well below par.
Anyhow, congrats to them and to Glen on his ton.

Jamaica is always a threat, no matter how chaotic the innerworkings of the board are. remember in 2019 when gayle and sarwan had a very public fallout with the tallawahs and JA won that cpl, beating a GAW team that had not lost a game for the season

Haven't been following the List A tourney much but what has Blackwood done to be reconsidered?

The yardies peaking at the right time, they may upset Bim tomorrow, it's tough to beat an opponent twice in a short tournament.

well, it was good for Glenn, some people were questioning his inclusion in the team. However this is WI cricket, one of the worst teams for the last 2 year is in the finals this year.

Robert Haynes came back.

Jamaica went for Blackwood (experience) ahead of J. Johnson. So far, he has had half-decent returns with the bat and been his brilliant self in the field.
