AFTER the rain-marred preliminary round of the Regional Women’s Championship, title-holders Barbados will contest the Super50 final against Trinidad and Tobago today at the Everest Cricket Club ground, weather permitting. T&T topped the standings with 12 points after their final preliminary game at Enmore on Friday against the Windward Islands was also abandoned due to rain.
The Trinidadians suffered four no-results, but came away with a win in the only game the weather allowed them to complete against Barbados in the first round.
The Trinidad and Tobago team will be captained by Merissa Aguilleira and Barbados by Shaquana Quintyne.
However, not a ball was possible at Enterprise in the other preliminary round, where the Barbadians were scheduled to clash with the Leeward Islands, leaving them with two points from the no-result.
Those points helped Barbados to finish second in the standings with 11 points, but after securing a better net run rate, the Bajans qualified for today’s final ahead of Guyana and Jamaica after both teams also finished on 11 points.
Following today’s final which starts at 9.30hrs, teams will turn their attention to the Twenty20 phase, starting next Thursday and conclude with the grand final on July 25 at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence.
