Guyana and host nation Barbados will go head-to-head in the top-of-the-table clash to decide the winners of the WICB’s Under-19 3day tournament. First ball is 10:00am (9 am Jamaica) and Guyana will look to replicate and improve on their performance of the last game against the Windward Islands, who they beat by 53 runs after dropping first innings points.
Guyana skipper Shawn Pereira
A keen contest is anticipated. Guyana skipper Shawn Pereira has been in good form with bat and ball as his team enters the final round a close second behind the Bajans and will look to restrict their batting department and also improve on their own batting.
Barbados captain Shai Hope has been the batsman of the tournament with three centuries so far and Guyana will definitely not want him scoring another against them.
