Hillview meet Naps as title race heats up

Leaders Hillview have only lost one of their five matches this season — a three-wicket defeat to Carapichaima East in round three. Hillview can seal the title today but need other results to go their way.

Hillview will be crowned champs if they earn maximum points against third placed Naparima at Honeymoon Park in El Dorado but need second placed Fatima and fourth placed Presentation College (Chaguanas) to also lose.

Defending champions Fatima are only five points behind Hillview, and will hope for a victory against fifth placed Barrackpore West to stay in contention for the title.

The teams will play at the Barrackpore West Ground.

Presentation will go into their encounter as favourites when they play sixth placed Carapichaima East at the Presentation ground but will be mindful of the threat of Carapichaima who have upset Hillview in round three and earned a six-wicket win over Barrackpore West in round four.

Shiva Boys and Trinity College East, the bottom two teams on the standings, will face off at the Buggy Haynes Ground in Tacarigua.

Seventh placed Shiva Boys have only won one match this season, while last placed Trinity have lost all their matches.

At the end of the season, the bottom two teams will be demoted to the championship division.
