Trinidad and To­ba­go will look to con­tin­ue their win­ning streak to­day, when fourth round match­es in the Re­gion­al Un­der-19 crick­et se­ries bowls off to­day in Guyana. T&T is cur­rent­ly sec­ond in the stand­ings with 24.3 points and they will tack­le third place Bar­ba­dos who are on 20.3 points at the De­mer­ara Crick­et Club ground. Coach of the team Taran­dath Sam­my is pleased with the per­for­mance of his team so far and thinks they have the weapons on their side to suc­cess­ful­ly com­bat the Bar­ba­di­ans. "We are play­ing good crick­et at the mo­ment com­ing away with two wins in our last two match­es. The boys are very con­fi­dent and they think they will be able to top­ple the Bar­ba­di­ans. "Our spin­ners es­pe­cial­ly Derone Davis have been in good form and tra­di­tion­al­ly our spin­ners have done well against Bar­ba­dos and we are look­ing for that again this time around."

Sam­my added that the bats­men are com­ing good and the team is peak­ing at the right time. "The bats­men are start­ing to get among the runs and at this stage the boys are look­ing to peak and this is cru­cial for us."
