Regional Four-Day Championship…

THE Barbados Pride (67.0 points) is now 15.8 points ahead of the third-place Guyana Harpy Eagles (51.2 points) as they head into the final round of the Cricket West Indies Four-Day Championship from June 1.

The Jamaica Scorpions, who are fifth with 37.8 points and out of the title contention, frustrated the Harpy Eagles with a draw on Saturday at the Diego Martin Sporting Complex in Trinidad.

The Leeward Islands Volcanoes (65.4 points) are in second, and they, too, are well within the grasp of winning the title.

In the final round, the Eagles will play Trinidad and Tobago Red Force (47.2 points) at the Queen’s Park Oval; Windward Volcanoes (21.0 points) will battle Barbados Pride at Diego Martin, and Scorpions will face Leeward Hurricanes at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy.

While it is not impossible for the Eagles to win the title, it is more impractical, as they would have to hope that both Pride and Hurricanes lose or draw with little bonus points, and they defeat Red Force.

There is a maximum of 24 points on offer in a match.
