Kaieteur Sports – There is a high level of anticipation surrounding the third and final round of bilateral matches in the West Indies Championship, with playoff spots still very much up for grabs.

This year’s format will see the team with the most points at the end of the bilateral series advance directly to the final from May 17–20, while the second and third-placed teams will face off in a playoff from May 10–13 for the remaining spot in the grand finale.

Reigning champions Guyana Harpy Eagles have signalled their intent early, securing two wins from their two matches to sit atop the standings with 43.2 points, ahead of Trinidad & Tobago Red Force on 37.

Captain of the Guyana Harpy Eagles Tevin Imlach is urging against complacency as his team seeks to solidify their position at the top when they square off with the Windward Islands Volcanoes at Coolidge Cricket Ground.

“We will assess what that pitch looks like and then we will come up with our gameplan and how we want to go about things. This is how we play our cricket by wanting to focus on one game at a time because all we can control is what is in the present.”

The Jamaica Scorpions are currently third with 29.6 points, just edging the Barbados Pride on 19.8, with the two sides set to clash in their decisive series finale at Sabina Park.

Meanwhile, the Pride’s head coach Vasbert Drakes believes his players are improving with each round and the third round could be the turning point for the squad.

“We want to continue playing decent cricket because from a batting perspective we are heading in the right trajectory and getting the scores where we can control Jamaica’s bowling.

However, in the bowling department we need to find ways of nullifying their opening partnership which has been a major impact on their team.

Following the opening rounds of matches, Kevin Wickham leads the run charts with 366 runs, while John Campbell (298) and Kirk McKenzie (290) round out the top three.

In the bowling department, Gudakesh Motie leads the pack with 16 wickets, including two five-wicket hauls.

He is followed by Jayden Seales with 13 wickets and Peat Salmon with 10.

All the matches bowl off at 10am local time.
