The venue is the Port Mourant Country Centre, Corentyne.

Today’s action starts at 10:00 hrs, with quarter-final matches which will be followed by the semifinals. The two winners will then clash in the final which will be played under lights.
Apart from cricket action on the ground, Banks DIH Limited has organised several other activities that will cater to the entire family. There will be trampolines for the kids, bouncy castles and face painting among other fun-filled activities.
