Ballr to play for

AND THEN THERE WERE TWO. This is it.

After ten matches – in Guyana, St Kitts and Barbados – the Ballr Cup tri-nation series climaxes today with the final between West Indies and Australia at Kensington Oval.

Both teams won three matches ahead of the final but that means nothing ahead of the day/night contest that bowls off at 1 p.m.

West Indies, under Jason Holder (left), will be brimming with confidence after rolling over South Africa by 100 runs on Friday night, but Australia, led by Steve Smith (right) will also be buoyant after chasing down a target of 283 to beat the Caribbean side in their last match.
