The fi­nal round of the 2025 West In­dies Cham­pi­onship is set to be a humdinger start­ing on Wednes­day as the top two teams, the Guyana Harpy Ea­gles and the Trinidad and To­ba­go Red Force, face off in a po­ten­tial ti­tle de­cider at Queen’s Park Oval in St Clair, Port-of-Spain.

With just 6.2 points sep­a­rat­ing the sides, the show­down could de­ter­mine who lifts the cov­et­ed re­gion­al first-class tro­phy.

Guyana, with 111.6 pts, re­mains un­beat­en af­ter six rounds, but right be­hind their tail is Trinidad and To­ba­go with 105.4 pts, hav­ing lost just once to Ja­maica last week on home soil.

A win for the Red Force could see them leapfrog the Harpy Ea­gles, while Guyana will aim to main­tain their dom­i­nance with an­oth­er strong per­for­mance.

Harpy Ea­gles cap­tain Tevin Im­lach says his team will be go­ing out to get the job done, de­spite play­ing away.

“We’re go­ing in­to the game look­ing to win the match, and that’s the idea around it. Ob­vi­ous­ly, first in­nings is go­ing to be key and get­ting that first in­nings lead is go­ing to be big.”

Red Force cap­tain Joshua Da Sil­va knows all too well the im­por­tance of the clash, and he and his troops are keen to break a lengthy ti­tle­less four-day drought.

“We knew the last game of the sea­son was go­ing to be a straight shootout, it’s like a fi­nal. We know where we went wrong and what hap­pened in that last game against Ja­maica and we have to put that be­hind us and just try and not let those things hap­pen again. In train­ing to­day, every­body is hap­py and ready to go again, ex­cit­ed for this clash.”

The Red Force Guyana clash will see the tour­na­ment’s top two run scor­ers go­ing head to head, with Ja­son Mo­hammed lead­ing all bat­ters with 552 runs, in­clud­ing three cen­turies. Kevlon An­der­son from the Harpy Ea­gles has been equal­ly im­pres­sive, scor­ing 522 runs this sea­son.

The bat­tle of the left-arm spin­ners will al­so be on show, as the com­pe­ti­tions’ lead­ing wick­et-tak­er Khary Pierre of T&T, with 37 scalps, will go up against Veerasam­my Per­maul of the Harpy Ea­gles with 28 wick­ets.

Mean­while, Bar­ba­dos Pride, with 100 pts and the Lee­ward Is­lands Hur­ri­canes, 92.1 pts, re­main out­side con­tenders, but their clash at Warn­er Park could de­cide third place. The Hur­ri­canes must win to keep their slim ti­tle hopes alive, while Bar­ba­dos will look to fin­ish strong

In oth­er match­es, fifth-place Ja­maica Scor­pi­ons will look to close out the com­pe­ti­tion on a high when they face last-placed Com­bined Cam­pus­es and Col­leges (CCC) at the Sir Frank Wor­rell Memo­r­i­al Ground, St Au­gus­tine , while the Wind­wards Is­lands Vol­ca­noes in sixth place will tack­le sev­enth place West In­dies Acad­e­my at Coolidge in An­tigua.
