The Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board Premiership 2 T20 competition resumes today after the Easter weekend break with the final round of group stage matches to determine who will advance to the knockout round.
For some teams, it’s straightforward; win today and advance to tomorrow’s quarterfinals. That is exactly the case in Group A with Cosmos Sports hosting Yorkshire in what is essentially a knockout match.
Both teams are on three points each with one win and one loss in the first two games. Whoever wins today at the Cosmos ground will advance alongside group leaders Caldrac Club, who have already secured their place in the quarters with perfect records so far. Caldrac will travel to Endeavor today to take on bottom-placed Endeavor Sports, who are winless so far.
In Group B, the Premier League U-19s currently top the standings with three points from two matches with a healthy +2,880 net rate. They are on a bye today as Bess Motors Marchin Patriots and St Julien Sports battle it out at the Sancho Road ground.
Marchin have three points from a win in their only game so far, while St Julien have no points after losing to the U-19s. If all three teams finish with three points, net run rate will be used to determine the final standings.
In Group C, leaders Prisons Sports will take on second placed Hafeez Karamath Limited Aranjuez Sports at Aranjuez while bottom placed Munroe Road Cricket Club will face Defense Force at Munroe Road.
In Group D, leaders Merry Boys will take on last-placed Canefarm Sports at the Diego Martin Sports Complex while third-placed Youth Movement El Socorro will host second-placed Queen’s Park Cricket Club III in El Socorro.
All matches start at 14:00.
