The Barbados U-19 team is in the final of the Rising Stars Cricket West Indies Boys Under-19 Championship, which begins on Thursday.
Their opponents in the three-day final at the Arnos Vale Sports Complex in St Vincent will be the Leeward Islands.
Yesterday, no ball was bowled on the third and final day of the preliminary final round match against the hosts Windward Islands at the Park Hill Complex.
Overnight and early morning showers left the ground saturated and play was officially called off at 12.30pm, half an hour after the lunch break.
Barbados were set to resume at 90 for five, in reply to Windward Islands’ 152. Romario Roach was on 20 and Nathan Sealy one.
At the break with no score, Barbados came away with seven points and the Windwards 4.4 points.
Barbados topped the overall standings with 45.4 points, including two wins. The Windwards, who were also in Zone ‘B’ finished with 15.6 points while Jamaica finished second in the zone with 26 points.
The Leeward Islands topped Zone “A” with 31.6 points with a win, while Guyana finished with 24.8 and Trinidad and Tobago received 12.4 points.
Trinidad and Tobago’s final against the Leeward Islands was also abandoned on the final day without a ball being bowled due to wet conditions. The Leewards were 49 for three in reply to Trinidad and Tobago’s 251 for eight declared at Cumberland. The Leewards came away with six points and Trinidad 5.6 points.
Guyana and Jamaica also had to settle for a draw as neither game was possible at Arnos Vale. Guyana were 283 for six. Both teams got five points each.
Final standings: Barbados 45.4, Leewards 31.6, Jamaica 26.00, Guyana 24.8, Windwards 15.6, Trinidad and Tobago 12.4. (EH)
