GEORGETOWN, Guyana (CMC) — Jamaica will look to start their defence of the One-day title of the Regional Under-19 Championship strongly, when they face Barbados in the opening round of matches today at Bourda Oval.
The Jamaicans coughed up the three-day title to hosts Guyana with inconsistent play, finishing fourth in the table behind the unconvincing Barbadians, and will be looking to put a far sterner defence of the limited-overs title.
They will fancy their chances against their old rivals following a convincing
six-wicket victory over them in the three-day competition.
