NAPARIMA College will now wait and hope that Barrackpore West Secondary can pull off a massive win on Friday, so they can be crowned champions of the premier division in the 2018 PowerGen Secondary Schools Cricket League (SSCL).

In the final round yesterday, Naparima defeated Presentation College, Chaguanas by 106 runs and moved ahead of Hillview College by two points on the standings. Hillview were scheduled to play Barrackpore West yesterday, but the students of Barrackpore had examinations and the match was postponed until Friday. Batting first at the Naparima Ground, national youth player Avinash Mahabirsingh cracked 85 to guide Naparima to 189 all out. Troy Sookraj pitched in with 26, while Matthew Patrick (two for 21) and Darius Gopaul (2/25) grabbed two wickets each for Presentation.
