Jamaica hunt bonus points |

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (CMC): Outside favourites Jamaica and Windward Islands are expected to come out blasting from all cylinders if they are to upstage front-runners Guyana as the final round of the WICB Under-19 One-day Championship bowls off in Barbados today. Jamaica, who play Barbados at Bayfield, and Windwards, who meet Leewards at Kensington Oval, are expected to press for outright victories and bonus points needed to stop the Guyanese from securing championship honours. The Jamaicans are second in the standings on 25.5 points, while the Windwards are third on 24.5. However, the six points that they can potentially earn from an outright victory would not be enough to surpass Guyana. Guyana currently sit at the top of the table on 34 points and will not play in the final round since they have drawn a bye. Earlier, they recorded an easy five-wicket win over Leeward Islands to end the WICB's Under-19 50-over tournament on a high, and as clear favourites for top honours. |
