Second round of matches bowls off today

ST JOHN’S, Antigua – This year’s West Indies Cricket Board’s (WICB) Regional 4-Day tournament is set to continue today with a full slate of matches in the second round. 

Windward Islands, one of three sides that won their first round match, will be looking to create a piece of history when they travel to Port of Spain to face Trinidad & Tobago at Queen’s Park Oval.
The Windwards have had little success in the Twin Island Republic, winning just four matches in the history of the modern Regional 4-Day Tournament, dating back to 1966 with their previous victory coming eight years ago, when they claimed an 86-run victory at Shaw Park in Scarborough, Tobago, the other half of the republic.
They have not won in Trinidad since prevailing by nine wickets 21 years ago at Guaracara Park in Pointe-A-Pierre and their previous and only victory at the Oval came 32 years ago by two wickets.
Jamaica, with whom the Windwards share the lead on the points table, will be looking to continue their dominance over Leeward Islands, the other first round winning side – and mark the occasion of the first-ever floodlit, first-class match at Warner Park in St Kitts with their fourth straight victory there.
