Defending champions Barbados have made a commanding start to the 2026 Cricket West Indies Rising Stars Under-19 50-Over Championship.
They currently sit at the top of the standings with 14.2 points, after back-to-back victories over the Windward Islands and Leeward Islands.
Close behind are Trinidad & Tobago on 11.6 points, having also maintained a perfect record through wins over Guyana and the Windward Islands.
The Leeward Islands occupy third position, followed by Jamaica, with both teams claiming one victory from their opening two fixtures.
The Windward Islands and Guyana complete the standings in fifth and sixth respectively, with both teams still searching for their first wins of the tournament.
The championship’s points system continues to reward positive and attacking cricket: in addition to four points awarded for a victory, teams can also accumulate bonus points for posting totals above 240, dismissing the opposition, and taking wickets through pace bowlers and wrist spinners.
