00:04Sign Village, Pinal.

00:06After winning the Trinidad and Tobago Women's Cricket Association fifth over tournament,

00:10they are now hoping to also clinch the T20 title.

00:14Red Force Divas cricketer Brittany Cooper is the captain at Powergen and carries the

00:18title of player coach.

00:20She says sound leadership is what has taken Powergen this far.

00:24Even if you look when I wasn't here for the rest of the tournament, I went out to regional

00:29and it was skippered by Jenny.

00:33The girls stepped up and they did their part and it showed us why we have the upper hand

00:38against the other team because we have a lot of young players who are leaders on the team.

00:43Having won two of their T20 matches this season, Powergen are hoping to go all the way.

00:49Their next assignment is against UWE Women's Cricket team on Sunday in St. Augustine.

00:53I know it's going to be a great, excellent game.

00:57We have all our players back, they have all their players back, both our players just

01:01came back from regional and our informant says it's going to be a really, really exciting

01:05game.

01:06It's going to most likely be a game that's going to decide who top first and second in

01:11the group.

01:12Jessica Orozco is a leg spinner on the team.

01:15She says the chemistry between the players and coaching staff is second to none.

01:20We had a few new players this year and they instantly, you know, everybody just gelled

01:25together and everybody just feels welcome which is why I think most people want to come

01:30and play for Powergen.

01:32So definitely as a team we have that chemistry and bond which is why we win because on that

01:37field we are family and even off the field we are the same way.

01:40The former Naprima Girls High School student wants to pursue dentistry but what are her

01:44goals as a cricketer?

01:46This is my last year with the U19 national team so I'm trying to try to get on the senior

01:52team for the last few years I was reserved and you know I'm just trying my best to let

01:56my performances speak and get there.

01:59Powergen also won the 50-over title last year but were runners-up in the T20 format.
