The heavy rains have further dampened the hopes of Bess Motors Marchin Patriots of dethroning defending champions Central Sports for the Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board (TTCB) Premiership I National League title. Heading into the final round of two-day action, Central Sports lead the ten-team standings with 160 points, while Patriots are in the runner-up spot on 139 points. Patriots need an outright win to ensure Central Sports do not earn any batting or bowling points throughout the match. Central Sports took first strike at home and were batting 118/2 when the rain prematurely concluded play after 26.1 overs. Fresh off his heroics in the CWI Breakout League final, Kamil Pooran is unbeaten on 75 not out along with Aaron Alfred (16). Ricky Jaipaul is the lone wicket taker for Patriots (2/21). However, Powergen utilised their 56.3 overs on day one scoring a huge total of 388/4 after they were inserted by Merryboys at the Diego Martin Sporting Complex.
