Sun, Aug 16, '15

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC) – Defending champions Jamaica will take aim at their second straight title when they take on unbeaten Barbados in the final of the Regional Women’s Super50 here today.
The two topped the standings after the fifth preliminary round of the competition completed Friday, and will now do battle at the National Cricket Centre for the honour of being Caribbean women’s champions.

Barbados were outstanding throughout the round-robin phase, topping the standings with 18 points from three wins with one tied game and one no-result.

Jamaica, meanwhile, finished second in the standings on 16 points, after also winning three but losing one and enduring one no-result.
Today’s final will be a repeat of the first-round clash when Barbados prevailed over the Jamaicans by 32 runs in a contest at Caldrac Sports Club.

On that occasion, Jamaica were let down by their batting. Chasing a mere 173 for victory, the Jamaicans faltered badly and failed to get past 150.
