New Under-19 Three-day Cup champions Jamaica clash with limited overs title-holders Trinidad and Tobago in a grudge match when the one-day tournament starts tomorrow, according to a report on www.cananews.com.
In spite of losing badly to T&T in their first-round match in the three-day competition, Jamaica went on to become tournament winners when they beat Barbados in their last match and snatched a thrilling championship win on the final afternoon on Monday.
T&T had entered the fifth round last weekend only needing first innings points against lowly placed Guyana but were surprisingly beaten on first innings and held to a draw.
“The team is ready and raring to go,” T&T manager William Wallace told CMC Sport today.
“The (T&T) players are anxious to pick themselves up from Monday’s disappointment and they are thinking very positively now,” he added.
Jamaica’s coach Andre Coley declared today that his players have put their three-day success behind them and are now focused on trying to complete the double.
